Earthwork takeoff, inside the estimate.

Earthwork Pro reads the contours and spot grades on your civil plans, builds the existing and proposed surfaces, and works out cut, fill and net import or export. Then it sends the yards to the job's estimate. No second program, no separate seat, no export.

It finds the contour lines on the grading sheet and reads their elevation labels, sorting dashed existing contours from solid proposed ones. You review what it found and add it to the drawing, set the scale and draw the boundaries. A boundary on the proposed surface is your limit of grading.

On test shapes whose exact volumes are known, the volume engine comes within 0.4% of the exact answer. Earthwork Pro is included in Premier and in the 14-day trial.

• Contour lines and elevation labels read from the civil PDF
• Spot grades such as FS, TW, TC and FF, even when the lettering is drawn as linework
• Dotted and broken contours joined; missing labels filled in from their neighbors and flagged for review
• Existing and proposed TIN surfaces
• Bank cubic yards of cut and fill, cut and fill areas, and net import or export
• Cut/fill map over the plan sheet and a 3D view
• Quantities sent to the job's estimate in one click
