Comprehensive Earthwork Estimating Service
Our Earthwork Estimating Service covers a wide range of activities essential for preparing your construction site. Here’s what we include:
Site Clearing
Site clearing is the first step in any earthwork project. Our estimators calculate the cost of removing trees, brush, and other obstacles to prepare your site for construction.
Earth Moving
Accurate earth moving estimates are crucial for budgeting your project. We provide detailed costs for moving large volumes of soil and rock, ensuring your site is properly prepared for subsequent construction phases.
Grading
Grading is essential for creating a level base for construction. Our estimates include precise costs for leveling and preparing the site, accounting for all necessary equipment and labor.
Excavation and Fill
Excavation and fill operations require careful planning and cost estimation. We provide detailed costs for digging and removing soil, as well as filling low areas to achieve the desired site elevation.
Trenching and Backfilling
Trenching for utilities and other infrastructure components is a critical part of many construction projects. Our estimators ensure you have an accurate cost for trenching and backfilling operations, covering all necessary materials and labor.
Soil Reinforcement
Soil reinforcement is essential for stabilizing the construction site. We provide detailed cost estimates for various soil reinforcement techniques, ensuring your project is built on a solid foundation.
Gabions and Riprap
Gabions and riprap are used for erosion control and stabilization. Our estimates include the cost of materials and installation, helping you maintain site integrity and prevent erosion.

Our Process for Earthwork Estimating Service
At Award Estimating Inc., our Earthwork Estimating Service is driven by a meticulous and detailed process designed to ensure the highest levels of accuracy and efficiency. Here’s how we ensure your earthwork project starts with a reliable and precise cost estimate:
Initial Consultation
Our process begins with an initial consultation to understand your project’s specific requirements. During this phase, we discuss the scope of work, site conditions, and any unique challenges your project may present. This helps us tailor our estimating services to meet your exact needs.
Site Analysis and Data Collection
Accurate earthwork estimates require a thorough understanding of the site. We perform a detailed site analysis, which includes topographic surveys, soil testing, and an assessment of existing site conditions. This data is crucial for accurate cost estimation of activities such as site clearing, grading, and excavation.
Detailed Cost Estimation
Using advanced software tools like PlanSwift, RSMeans data, and Bluebeam, our team prepares detailed cost estimates for all earthwork activities. This includes:
- Site Clearing: Estimating the cost of removing trees, brush, and other obstacles.
- Earth Moving: Calculating the cost of moving large volumes of soil and rock.
- Grading: Determining the cost for leveling and preparing the site.
- Excavation and Fill: Estimating the costs for digging and filling operations.
- Trenching and Backfilling: Providing accurate costs for trenching for utilities and backfilling operations.
- Soil Reinforcement: Estimating costs for stabilizing the construction site.
Review and Refinement
We believe in transparency and collaboration. Once the initial estimate is prepared, we review it with you to ensure all aspects of the project are covered. This collaborative review allows us to refine the estimate based on your feedback and any additional information you provide.
Final Estimate and Report
After incorporating any necessary revisions, we provide a final detailed cost estimate. This report includes a breakdown of all costs, timelines, and any assumptions made during the estimation process. Our comprehensive reports help you make informed decisions and manage your project budget effectively.
Ongoing Support
Our commitment to your project doesn’t end with the delivery of the estimate. We provide ongoing support throughout the project lifecycle, assisting with any adjustments or re-estimations as the project progresses. This ensures that you stay on budget and on schedule.

Detailed Components of Earthwork Estimating Service
Key Components and Their Descriptions
Understanding the various components involved in earthwork estimating is crucial for a successful project. Below is a detailed table explaining some additional aspects related to earthwork that ensure thorough cost estimation.
Component | Description |
---|---|
Material Testing | Ensuring soil and other materials meet project specifications. This involves laboratory testing of soil samples for composition, moisture content, and compaction levels. Material testing helps in planning for appropriate excavation and fill requirements. |
Hauling and Disposal | Calculating the costs associated with transporting excavated materials to and from the construction site. This includes fuel, labor, and disposal fees for unwanted materials. Accurate estimation of hauling and disposal is essential for managing project costs effectively. |
Weather Impact Analysis | Assessing potential delays and cost implications due to adverse weather conditions. This analysis helps in planning for contingencies and mitigating risks associated with weather-related disruptions. |
Permit Acquisition | Estimating the costs and time required to obtain necessary permits for earthwork activities. This includes local, state, and federal permits related to environmental impact, excavation, and construction. Proper permit acquisition is crucial for avoiding legal and regulatory issues. |
Equipment Rental | Cost estimation for renting necessary equipment such as bulldozers, excavators, and graders. Equipment rental costs are a significant part of the overall earthwork estimate and must be accurately calculated to avoid budget overruns. |
Environmental Protection | Costs associated with implementing measures to protect the environment during earthwork activities. This includes erosion control, sediment control, and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations. Environmental protection is vital for sustainable and responsible construction practices. |
Safety Measures | Estimating the costs of implementing safety protocols and equipment to protect workers on-site. This includes personal protective equipment (PPE), safety training, and emergency response plans. Ensuring safety is paramount to prevent accidents and maintain a productive work environment. |
