Grading and Earthwork Calculation

Why Outsource Grading and Earthwork Projects?

Grading and earthwork are critical stages in every land development or infrastructure project — directly affecting construction costs, drainage efficiency, and overall site stability.
By outsourcing these tasks to A2Z Civil Engineers, you can:

  • Save time on complex cut-fill analysis and surface adjustments.
  • Avoid rework and construction delays caused by inaccurate grading.
  • Receive optimized grading designs that balance earth volumes and reduce hauling costs.
  • Leverage advanced Civil 3D tools and experienced civil engineers for accurate results.

What We Deliver

Our grading and earthwork services cover a complete range of design and calculation needs:

  • Preliminary grading design for concept or feasibility stages.
  • Finished grading plans including contour, spot elevation, slopes, and grading limits.
  • Cut and fill volume calculation with detailed reporting.
  • Balancing and optimization to minimize import/export quantities.
  • Surface modeling for stormwater management and site drainage.
  • Quantity take-off (QTO) for construction cost estimation.

Our Workflow

  1. Data Collection – Receive existing topographic survey and design parameters.
  2. Preliminary Grading – Create conceptual surfaces and evaluate drainage flow.
  3. Detailed Surface Modeling – Build finished surfaces in Civil 3D.
  4. Earthwork Calculation – Compute cut & fill quantities using Civil 3D or HydroCAD surface tools.
  5. Optimization & Review – Adjust grading to achieve volume balance.
  6. Final Delivery – Provide DWG surface files, calculation reports, and PDF drawings.

Software & Standards

We use industry-leading software and follow precise standards to ensure consistency and accuracy:

  • Autodesk Civil 3D – surface modeling, grading groups, and volume calculations.
  • Autodesk SSA / HydroCAD – integrate grading with drainage system design.
  • AutoCAD / Excel / PDF outputs – for compatibility with all clients.
  • Standards: AASHTO, local city grading ordinances, and U.S. CAD conventions.
