Services
From plans to placement — the whole earthwork stack, under one license.
Civil Consulting — Takeoff & Budgeting
Quantity surveys and pre-construction budgets that hold up to scrutiny. We read plans the way an estimator does, build the bid item list the way the field needs to see it, and price it with current San Diego unit costs — defensible from kickoff through change-order season.
What you get
- · Plan-quantity takeoffs (mass earthwork, cut/fill balancing, paving, utilities)
- · CSI-coded bid item lists (Divisions 31, 32, 33)
- · HCSS HeavyBid–ready import sheets
- · Owner-budget validation and reconciliation
- · Bid-day support: scope letters, qualifications, exclusions
Deliverables
- · Trimble TBC / Topcon Magnet / Leica iCON–compatible surfaces
- · Subgrade, finish, and rough-grade TINs with linework
- · Tied to project control — verified against survey
- · Versioned with revision logs and change tracking
- · On-site model commissioning & operator hand-off
Machine-Control Grade Models
Detailed 3D grade models built from the contract drawings — clean, watertight surfaces that drop straight into the dozer or motor grader. We don’t hand off a model until it’s checked against the plans, the survey, and a printed cross-section. The numbers in the cab match the numbers in the bid.
Drone Topography & Quantities
Photogrammetric flights for original-ground topo, progress payment quantities, stockpile measurement, and as-built documentation. We fly with ground control, process to survey-grade accuracy, and deliver clean DTMs and orthomosaics — ready for design, billing, or dispute.
Common Use Cases
- · Original-ground topographic surveys for earthwork bidding
- · Monthly progress quantities & pay-app verification
- · Stockpile volumes for inventory & reconciliation
- · As-built documentation for closeout & compaction logs
- · Dispute documentation: time-stamped orthos & DTMs
Self-Perform Scope
- · 31 Earthwork — clearing, excavation, grading, embankment, BMPs
- · 32 Site Improvements — paving, curbs, walls, hardscape
- · 33 Utilities — water, sewer, storm, dry-utility joint trench
- · Class “A” licensed — CSLB #1048702
- · DIR-registered, fully insured, prevailing-wage capable
Earthwork, Site & Utility Contracting
When the scope warrants it, we self-perform. Class “A” General Engineering license, modern fleet, clean safety record, and the same bidder writing the proposal is the one running the field. No translation losses between the office and the dirt.
