Machine Control Models & Earthwork Takeoffs in Utah
Utah dirt work happens on a shelf — most of the state's growth is stacked along the Wasatch Front from Ogden through Salt Lake City to Provo, with benches, foothill cuts, and tight lots to match. TCL Consulting delivers earthwork takeoffs, 3D machine control models, and remote GPS support to Utah contractors, all remotely.
Cut/Fill Takeoffs Utah Contractors Can Bid On
Bench cuts and stepped pads make Utah quantities easy to get wrong. We work up cut/fill maps, material totals, and haul numbers from your plans and CAD, so the number you carry into a bid is one you can defend when the dirt starts moving.
GPS Models Ready for Wasatch Front Jobsites
Subdivision phases in Lehi, a pad site in West Valley, an I-15 frontage lot — we turn the design into finish grade, subgrade, and phased surfaces your operators can run, checked against the plans before anything reaches the field.
Remote Support for Crews Across Utah
From St. George to Logan, a stuck crew doesn't need a truck in the parking lot — it needs the file fixed. We remote in, straighten out data and localization problems, and get blades cutting again.

Common Questions
What do you need from us to start a Utah takeoff?
Site plans, grading sheets, and the engineering drawings get a takeoff moving. For machine control models we need current CAD or surface data, alignments, and control — a PDF alone is not enough to build a model your machines can trust. Every job also starts with a document review that flags conflicts and missing information before building begins, so problems surface on paper instead of in benches and foothill cuts.
What happens when the engineer revises the plans?
Send the new sheets and the model gets revised — it happens on most jobs and it is priced like the routine event it is. Larger redesigns can shift schedule or cost, and that conversation always happens up front.
How is pricing set for Utah takeoffs and models?
No mystery math: earthwork takeoffs run $249 for sites up to an acre, $499 to 10 acres, $895 to 20, and $1,349 beyond that — Salt Lake City, Provo, or anywhere between. Model pricing comes from the calculator on the pricing page, and complex scopes are quoted before we begin.
How long does a machine control model take for a Utah job?
Most takeoffs come back in days, not weeks — a straightforward pad near Salt Lake City often in a couple of days, a complex phased site in up to a week, with the timeline fixed in the proposal. A 48-hour rush option (+20%) exists for the bids that cannot wait.
How does remote delivery work for Utah contractors?
There is no site visit — files, models, and support are all delivered remotely to Utah crews from Salt Lake City to Provo. Stuck-on-grade calls are handled the same way, through the data. The contractor stays responsible for field control, localization, and verification before the model runs a machine.
