Earthwork Takeoffs & Reporting
Build your bid around a clearer picture of the dirt. Civil Mesh prepares cut-and-fill quantities and reports that help your team plan earthwork, hauling, and material requirements.
Built around your project
Understand the quantities before you price the work
Earthwork quantities depend on the surfaces and assumptions behind them. Comparing existing ground with the proposed design helps identify cut, fill, and the net balance. Material behavior and construction requirements still need to be considered when turning those quantities into a bid.
What we deliver
- Net import/export summary for hauling decisions
- Bid-ready PDF plus editable source files
- Fast-turn revisions as plans change
From plans to execution
How the process works
- 01
Confirm the surfaces, scope, and assumptions used for the takeoff.
- 02
Compare existing and proposed conditions to develop the quantities.
- 03
Deliver the report and review changes when revised plans are issued.
What to send us
- Existing-ground survey and proposed grading plans
- Available CAD or surface files and the current plan revision
- Scope boundaries and any excluded work
- Project-specific stripping, material, swell, or compaction assumptions to review

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I receive?
Published deliverables include a bid-ready PDF, editable source files, and a net import/export summary. The exact report scope is confirmed with your quote.
What does an earthwork takeoff cost?
Takeoff packages start at $750 and reports start at $165. Most takeoffs turn around in 3–5 business days; the quote confirms scope and timing.
Why can two takeoffs show different quantities?
Differences in existing-ground data, design revisions, boundaries, and material assumptions can change the result. Compare those inputs before comparing totals.
Can I use the online calculator instead?
Our calculators are useful for preliminary checks. A project takeoff uses your actual plans and surfaces rather than a simplified shape or a few entered quantities.
