Powerful site and road estimating / data prep software

Use Takeoff for Accurate Estimates:

• Calculate site cut & fill and topsoil
• Differentiate strata volumes — rock vs. dirt
• Accurately determine asphalt quantity needed in a variety of measurement units
• Get precise curb work calculations
• Estimate trenching quantities
• Estimate roadways from cross-sections

Use Takeoff Once You Get the Bid:

• Analyze existing TOPO before you start
• Prepare the design info for exact staking
• Create a 3D model for machine control
• Evaluate for quantity and quality control
• Report volumes as you build

BETTER Reporting

New Direct PDF output for Cut/Fill Volume Reports, 3D Surface Models, Surface Profiles, Site Plan Views, Cross Sections.

MORE Power

User-Defined Area Breakdowns for both Material Quantities and Cut/Fill Volumes.

MORE Compatibility

Best in the business Cross-Section processing, PDF and TIF File Import, DGN File Import.
