Sitework Is Priced by Production, Not by the Square Foot
Sitework cost lives in production rates and logistics. Two jobs with the same cubic yards can price nowhere near each other because one has a balanced site with a short push and the other has a 12-mile export to the only pit taking material. We build every number from the ground up:
- Quantities by the geotech: cut/fill with shrink and swell, over-ex depths and limits, and unsuitable material pulled from the soils report, not assumed.
- Equipment spread logic: scrapers vs. excavator and trucks, dozer push distances, compaction passes and water, matched to the site and the schedule.
- Trucking cycles: real haul routes, load times, and dump fees to actual pits and landfills in your market.
- Your costs or ours: your labor burden, equipment rates, and crew history when you have them, field-validated numbers when you don't.
- Scope protection: a scope letter with inclusions, exclusions, and clarifications that holds up at buyout.

Sitework Estimating Questions
What does a sitework estimating service do?
A sitework estimating service prepares the quantities and pricing for everything outside the building footprint: earthwork and grading, demolition, paving, aggregate base, concrete flatwork, wet and dry utilities, erosion control, and walls. Earthworks NV delivers that as a full, submission-ready bid, not just quantities.
