PlanSwift Earthwork Pro V3 is a specialized plugin for the PlanSwift takeoff and estimating platform, designed specifically for earthwork contractors to calculate site grading, excavation, and fill volumes.
The volume of earth needed to raise the site to the desired grade.
Before purchasing and installing the Earthwork Pro v3 plugin, ensure your system meets the necessary requirements. The core PlanSwift software has the following :
Rarely is earthwork limited to moving uniform dirt. Earthwork Pro V3 allows estimators to define multiple subgrade layers, such as: Topsoil stripping depths Concrete slab-on-grade bases Aggregate base courses (gravel, crushed stone) Non-dirts strata (rock layers requiring blasting)
It is critical to note that Earthwork Pro is a plugin and requires a licensed version of PlanSwift to function. PlanSwift’s pricing is based on a subscription model. Based on recent analysis, the starting price for a PlanSwift license is approximately . Other sources list a lifetime license option for the base software at around $1,595. Pricing should be confirmed directly with ConstructConnect.
The tool allows for defining different layers, such as stripping topsoil or calculating subgrade volumes, which are critical for accurate bids [2].
Once both surfaces are defined, Earthwork Pro V3 generates a 3D mesh model. The software compares the two layers and outputs a structured report detailing the net cut/fill requirements, balance points, and material breakdowns. Key Improvements in Version 3 (V3)
to ensure it runs smoothly on your computer.
Version 3 now includes both Standard (Imperial) and Metric templates in a single plugin. This allows users to work on international projects or local plans with different measurement standards without needing separate software versions.
