From cut/fill earthwork balancing and underground utility trenching to site concrete, asphalt paving, and stormwater management, Smart Scale Estimators delivers accurate sitework takeoffs for excavation contractors, civil contractors, and general contractors.
Civil sitework and utility takeoff requires meticulous attention to pipe slope profiles, structure depths, paving cross-sections, and clearing boundaries. Missing 500 feet of 18-inch storm drain or miscalculating stone base tonnage can turn a profitable site project upside down. Smart Scale Estimators provides contractors with an experienced civil estimating team that extracts exact quantities from complex civil engineering sets.
Tailored specifically for subcontractor bidding, prime GC bid leveling, and self-perform validation:
Formatted workbook with separate tabs for demolition, cut/fill earthwork, underground utilities, and asphalt/concrete paving packages.
High-resolution PDF plan set highlighting clearing limits, utility runs with depth notations, paving boundaries, and curb types.
Comprehensive schedule listing every pipe segment by diameter, class, invert depth, bedding requirement, and connected structure.
Itemized quantities for silt fencing, wattles, construction entrances, and retention pond stabilization items.
We review existing and proposed contour sheets, grading plans, utility profiles, and erosion control drawings.
We measure site clearing boundaries, pavement removals, topsoil stripping areas, and erosion control perimeters.
We trace storm, sanitary, and water runs, calculating pipe lengths, bedding gravel volume, trench safety shoring, and structure counts.
We calculate stone base tonnage, asphalt binder/wear tonnage, and curb lengths, compiling the complete civil estimate package.

Working with a dedicated sitework estimator allows civil and excavation contractors to bid multiple commercial and subdivision packages simultaneously without hiring full-time in-house engineering staff. Our civil takeoff specialists accurately calculate cut/fill earthwork volumes, pipe profiles, and paving tonnages within 24 to 48 hours.
Yes. Based on pipe diameter, trench depth, and specified bedding details (e.g. #57 stone bedding and structural backfill), we calculate bedding cubic yards and trench spoil volume.
Yes. We break down site packages into clear sub-tabs (on-site development vs. off-site road widening or municipal tie-ins) so you can bid them independently if required by the owner.
We apply standard regional density factors (typically 110 lbs per square yard per inch of depth for asphalt, and 1.8 to 2.1 tons per cubic yard for compacted stone base) to deliver ready-to-order supplier tonnage.
Yes. We quantify silt fencing, check dams, tree protection, retention/detention pond excavation, rip-rap energy dissipators, and hydroseeding acreage.
