What you price
Why excavation & earthwork businesses switch
Small excavators often estimate from experience and a calculator. TrueScope gives a measured, repeatable quantity for each quote. Full cut-and-fill from surface models still needs earthwork software.
Setup tip
There is no depth tool, so group by depth: for an 8 ft basement dig, set 1 SF = 0.296 yd³ on that excavation item.
Common questions
Not from contour surfaces. It measures footprints and trench lengths and converts them into volumes at the depth you set on each item.
Yes. Add a haul item that converts cubic yards into loads for your truck size.
