Bringing Accuracy To Every Estimate.

Send your plans. Get a price back — usually same day.

Is this actually built for you?

Yes — if you:

  • Self-perform your own dirt
  • Own your iron
  • Want the model done right — not in-house, not cheap
  • Need it back fast so the crew isn't waiting

Probably not — if you:

  • Already have an in-house modeler
  • Are the engineer or surveyor — you're upstream, this isn't for you
  • Just want the cheapest file over the right one

Your file works with your crews — or I fix it, free.

That's the guarantee on every job. Here's the rest of what you get:

Fast, firm pricing

A price back usually the same day — and always before any work starts.

Read before it's built

Your plans checked for conflicts and gaps up front, so problems come back as questions now, not change orders later.

You work with me

In the dirt since 2013, with files that have run on projects in 42 states.

This is what shows up.

Every project comes back as a real deliverable — cut/fill maps, 3D surfaces, and quantities you can bid on. Not a guess.

Common Questions

Our GPS modeling and machine control models are meticulously crafted to ensure GPS-guided equipment operates with precision on the job site. We focus on every detail, from grading information to terrain features, ensuring each model is perfectly aligned with the site’s specific requirements. Comprehensive quality checks are conducted to verify accuracy and reliability before delivery.

To begin, we will need the site plans, grading information, and any relevant engineering drawings. The more detailed the plans, the more precise the model or takeoff will be. Sharing AutoCAD files is also highly beneficial. If there are any specific requirements or complexities associated with the project, please make sure to include those details as well.

The timeline varies based on the project’s complexity and size. For simpler models, it may take just a couple of days, whereas more intricate projects could take up to a week. We will outline a specific timeline in our proposal after evaluating the project’s requirements.

We completely understand that changes can occur, and we are prepared to revise the models or takeoffs as necessary. Depending on the scale of the changes, we may need to modify the timeline or costs, but we will always communicate any adjustments clearly in advance.

If the grading information is incomplete or unclear, we can use our expertise to interpret the design intent. However, this may lead to increased time and costs, as we must ensure that the final model accurately meets the project’s requirements.

Support is remote — and fast. If your crew hits a problem with the file, you call and we work it live: the surface, the localization, whatever is holding up grade. That’s how we support contractors nationwide without making anyone wait on a site visit. And every job carries the same guarantee: the file works with your crews, or we fix it — free.

Flat rates, published on our pricing page. Earthwork takeoffs start at $249 by site size. Machine control models are priced by the acre — enter your acres and the price is on the screen. Specialty scopes like elevated utilities or heavy highway get a firm quote before any work starts. No proposals to wait on, no sales calls.

The same flat, published rates every time. We don’t play volume-discount games — the price you see is the price, first project or fiftieth, and every file carries the same guarantee. What repeat clients get is a modeler who already knows their crews, their platforms, and how they like their files delivered.

We stand by the quality of our work and provide support if any issues arise during the use of our models. If there are discrepancies or adjustments needed, we’ll work with you to resolve them quickly to keep your project on track.

Our material takeoffs are meticulously calculated using the latest software and industry best practices. We cross-check quantities against project specifications and plans to ensure accuracy. Additionally, we provide detailed reports so you can review and confirm the numbers before moving forward.
