Excavation Estimating Software
Excavation estimating software that turns a set of plans into a priced excavation estimate in about 30 minutes — AI calculates cut/fill volumes and haul-off off the plan, no manual takeoff.
Free to try · no login · ~30 minutes to a priced excavation estimate.
Watch P2P estimate excavation from a real blueprint
Upload a plan set and our AI returns a priced, bid-ready excavation estimate with color-coded markups in about 30 minutes.
Your trade has its own units. So does the AI.
Excavation estimating is dirt math, and the dirt doesn't forgive. You're reading existing and proposed grades off the site plan, building cut and fill by area, balancing the site to find net import or export, then converting bank cubic yards to loose for haul-off and counting truck loads. Get the cut/fill wrong and you've either bid to haul dirt that isn't there or eaten the cost of trucking out what you never counted. Then you layer in strip and stockpile of topsoil, over-excavation, structural backfill, and the swell and compaction factors that turn neat plan volumes into real loads. P2P reads the grading and site plans, calculates cut and fill volumes by area, balances the site, applies your swell and compaction factors, and prices excavation, haul-off, and import against your own equipment and trucking rates — so you quote in minutes instead of a day running grids by hand or wrestling a survey file.
From excavation plans to a bid-ready number.
Cut/fill volume takeoff
Upload the grading plan and the AI builds cut and fill volumes by area from existing and proposed grades, then balances the site to find net import or export.
Haul-off and loads, counted
The takeoff converts bank yards to loose with your swell factors and counts truck loads, so haul-off and import are priced from real volumes, not a round number.

Turn a site plan into a priced excavation estimate in about 30 minutes, so you can bid every dirt package instead of skipping the ones that need a full grading takeoff.
How a excavation estimate gets built.
Upload your blueprint
Drop a PDF, image, or CAD file — even a messy, multi-sheet set. No login required to start.
AI builds the takeoff
The AI reads the sheets, finds your trade's scope, and measures it — counts, lengths, areas — in minutes, not hours.
Get a priced estimate
It prices the takeoff against your labor and material rates, so you get a bid-ready estimate you just review and send.
