Bid every earthworks job.
Even with no survey.
Send your next tender — existing survey or not. Get a QS-checked cut & fill takeoff back with prompt turnaround, every volume shown against the surface. No existing ground in the set? We build it from open LiDAR.

Half your bids can't even be priced.
You can't compute cut and fill without an existing surface — and half the tender sets don't have one. So you digitise contours by hand, buy a survey, or pass on the job. And when you do price it, get the balance wrong and you eat the haul bill on a job you won.
Build the surface by hand — or gamble
- ✕Half a day digitising contours to build existing ground — per bid
- ✕No survey in the set → the job can't be priced at all
- ✕Offshore bureau: 48 hrs, black box, "which existing ground did they use?"
- ✕Volume risk is yours — misjudge the balance, you eat the haul
Send drawings, get a checked cut/fill
- ✓Cut, fill & mass-haul measured to your standard, m³ or CY
- ✓No survey? Existing ground built from open LiDAR — so you can still bid
- ✓Cut/fill heatmap + section proofs — the working shown, QS-checked
- ✓Prompt turnaround — price the dirt while it's hot
What lands in your inbox
Everything you need to price the dirt with confidence — and put your name to the number.
Cut & fill takeoff
Volumes in m³ or CY: topsoil strip, bulk & detailed excavation, cut, fill, import & disposal — by zone, every quantity traced to a drawing reference and the datum used.
Mass-haul summary
Cut-to-fill balance, net import/export, and haul distances where the drawings show them — so you price cart-away and borrow, not guess it.
Marked-up surface
A cut/fill heatmap over the plan plus section proofs against the existing and design surfaces. This is the working — no black box.
Live-formula Excel
Yellow inputs, green calculations. Change a rate or a bulking factor, the tender number moves. Yours to keep and reuse.
Priced tender summary
Strip / excavate / cart / fill / compact / import built up to a submittable number, with the rates exposed and labelled.
QS spot-check
A chartered QS reviews every pack — including the existing surface and datum — against the drawings before it ships. That check is the guarantee, not a refund promise.
Just send the drawings. We do the rest.
Send a set
Upload your tender or IFC drawings — PDF is fine. Include a survey if you have one; if not, just tell us the site and we'll pull the LiDAR.
We build & measure
Existing ground from your survey or open LiDAR, cut/fill measured to your standard, then a chartered QS checks every line and the datum.
