Developers Research uses Agtek Earthwork 3D, Earthgraphics and Carlson Takeoff software to prepare grading takeoffs. Developers Research can digitize existing contours and proposed grades if electronic plans are not available. If AutoCAD files are available, the plans can be directly imported into the grading software. These electronic takeoffs can also be sent to a grading contractor to facilitate the bidding process. For all grading takeoffs, we determine quantities for remedial grading such as overexcavation, alluvium or colluvium removals, heavy ripping and blasting. We provide graphical output allowing the clients to review the areas of cut and fill to better understand the project's grading issues. Through the use of these grading softwares, Developers Research is able to recommend the most profitable way to grade a site.
