SiteWorx/OS · Site excavation & earthwork

Cut and fill, from a PDF to a 3D surface.

Takeoff and estimating software for quantity surveyors and for excavation, grading, site development and underground utility contractors.

3D site models

3D models of the existing and proposed site.

SiteWorx/OS digitises existing-ground contours and proposed-level design lines straight from the sheet and builds a 3D model of each. Add spot levels, project boundaries, sloping design lines and boreholes as you go.

  • Existing and proposed surfaces in one project
  • One-click contour takeoff from vector PDF and DWG
  • Trace contour lines from raster drawings
  • Pick the elevation at any point on the 3D surface
Cross sections by boring, color coded by soil type

Quantities

Cut, fill, sub-grade, and trench, all priced.

Calculate net earthwork in m³ between the existing and proposed surfaces, then break the site into zones to balance cut and fill. Sub-grade, over-excavation and backfill, trenches, and topsoil strip and re-spread come out as separate quantities, ready for the BoQ.

  • Cut, fill, and sub-grade material volumes
  • Over-excavate and backfill volumes computed automatically
  • Trench materials and volumes disclosed separately
  • Topsoil strip and re-spread, with the option to exclude regions
  • Boring log input for cut volumes by soil type
  • Site balancing adjustment built in
Topsoil, subsoil, cut and fill, all in one report

  • Export results to Microsoft Excel, Word, or PDF
  • Copy results and paste straight into Excel
  • Export the takeoff as a DWG file
