EarthWorks is the easiest-to-use, most affordable, full featured cut & fill software available for Excavation, Grading, Paving & General Contractors, Homebuilders and Developers.

With EarthWorks, you don't have to be a grading expert to quickly and accurately generate cut/fill, base, paving and other material quantities from drawings. Using an SLVI Digitizer or Roll-up III Digitizer or the optional OnScreen module, simply trace existing and proposed/new contours, areas of over-excavation, perimeters of paving areas and building pads and let EarthWorks run the calculations in seconds.

EarthWorks generates cut & fill and import/export quantity reports with topsoil and over-excavation volumes, 3D site views of existing and proposed/new elevations, cut & fill plan grids with depths and quantities, and cross sections at any location.

Need to calculate site trench material quantities?, EarthWorks also has trench take-off capabilities. Simply trace the pipe or conduit runs from your plan and input trench variables into the dynamic cross section window. Trench material quantities and cross section views are automatically generated and updated as changes are made.
