This is the box in your cab. It only works if somebody built the surface first.

What we price
Six scopes.
Take all of them or take one.
-
01
Earthwork takeoffs
Cut, fill, topsoil strip and respread, undercut, subgrade, balance point and haul, broken out by phase or by area.
cy -
02
GPS modeling
Machine-control surfaces built from your plans and loaded to the box. Your operators grade to the model, not to stakes.
ls -
03
Demolition & clearing
Clearing and grubbing acreage, tree counts, building and slab demo, pavement removal, and what's headed to the landfill.
ac -
04
Erosion control
Silt fence, construction exits, inlet protection, check dams, matting and basin volumes, all off the NPDES sheets, phase by phase.
lf -
05
Storm systems
Pipe by size and material, structures, headwalls, rip-rap, trench excavation and stone bedding, with invert-driven depths.
lf -
06
Site utilities
Sanitary sewer, water main, fire service and dry-utility conduit. Lengths, fittings, valves, services and the excavation with them.

You've got crews to run, iron to move and a bid due Thursday. Counting dirt is our job, not the thing you do at eleven at night with a scale rule and a cold cup of coffee.
How it runs
Plans in. Numbers out.
-
Send the plans
Email the PDF set: civil, grading, utility, erosion, plus any addenda. We come back same day with what's missing and what it costs.
-
We build the surfaces
Existing contours and proposed grades get digitized into two triangulated surfaces, checked against spot elevations and the plan's own callouts.
-
You get the quantities
A report that drops into your estimate, a cut/fill map for the super, and the model files if you're running machine control.
-
You bid it and go
Revision after addendum, a what-if on a balance point, a question on one line item? Call. We stay on it until the bid is out the door.
Who we are
An estimating department you don't have to hire.
Digital Dirt is an independent takeoff and consulting shop serving the construction industry. We run the most advanced earthwork and modeling software available, and every deliverable gets shaped to the way your outfit already estimates: your phases, your codes, your spreadsheet.
Bid more work without adding headcount. Put the hours you were burning on plan sheets back into the field.
