Scope a civil bid with the survey basis, excavation limits and utility boundaries recorded before pricing. JLG Estimating organizes the agreed earthwork, trenching, drainage and paving quantities from your supplied civil documents, with cut/fill and material-handling assumptions kept separate.
Project-based estimating fees. Confirm scope, fee and delivery after document review.
Choose the items required for your bid. Quantities are grouped by the available drawing references, material or assembly, location and unit. Pricing is added only when it forms part of the agreed package.
| Scope item | Measurement | Information retained |
|---|---|---|
| Clearing and site preparation | SF / acres | Limits, demolition and vegetation scope |
| Excavation and fill | CY | Existing/proposed surfaces and stated volume basis |
| Utility trenches | LF / CY | Depth, width, bedding and backfill basis |
| Storm/sanitary/water utilities | LF / EA | Size, material, structures and connection limits |
| Paving and aggregate | SF / SY / CY | Areas, layers and specified thicknesses |
| Site structures and controls | EA / LF | Inlets, manholes, curbs and erosion-control items |
Earthwork quantities depend on the available existing and proposed surfaces, datum and site limits. We review whether the supplied information supports the requested volume method before agreeing the scope. Bank, loose and compacted quantities are identified separately; shrink/swell or unsuitable-material assumptions are not silently applied as measured site conditions.
Utility trenches keep length, depth and width inputs visible, with bedding, pipe displacement, backfill and surface restoration separated as appropriate to the agreed method. Building connections are coordinated with plumbing and electrical package boundaries. Haul distance, disposal, rock, groundwater, shoring and dewatering need project information or explicit pricing assumptions rather than inference from a site plan alone.
For workbook organization, see the illustrative deliverable layouts. These layouts show the format; project-specific samples will be identified separately when available.
Tell us the project location, trade scope and whether you need quantities only or a priced estimate. Add your bid deadline if you have one.
Upload the available set, or include a shared drawings link in your message. Note missing documents and any items you want excluded.
We review the available documents and clarify the requested package. The proposal establishes deliverables, fee, revision scope and delivery milestones before estimating work starts.
