Pads, grading, trenching, and haul-off. Price the machine time, the trucking, and the mobilization, send it, and get the deposit before you float the equipment. Built by a contractor.
Everything below is included or one tap away, no modules, no add-on pricing, no sales calls.
Excavator, skid steer, and operator rates live in your price book and drop onto the estimate by the hour, no mental math on the shoulder of the road.
Dump-truck loads, fill dirt, and gravel price by the load or the ton, so trucking is on the estimate instead of your fuel card.
The customer signs and pays a deposit up front. Floating the machine and the crew is covered before you roll.
Attach photos of the grade and access, and note rock and unsuitable-soil terms, so the surprises are a documented change order, not a fight.
Clear and grub, rough grade, final grade. Bill in stages with the running total on the estimate.
Overdue invoices get an automatic weekly nudge until they clear.
Three steps between the walkthrough and the money.
Machine hours, truck loads, grading area, and trenching. Type it or talk it, the AI drafts priced line items in YOUR rates.
The customer or GC opens a clean link, signs, and pays the deposit.
Invoices carry pay links, reminders chase the money, and payments land straight in your bank.
Excavation is priced on equipment hours, truck loads, and material by the yard or ton, plus a mobilization fee to get the machine on site, and the estimate has to carry all of it or a small job loses money on the float alone. SayEstimate holds your excavator, skid steer, and trucking rates and drafts the estimate from a spoken scope.
Deposits cover mobilization before you roll, site-condition and rock terms go in writing so the surprises are change orders, and progress billing keeps big dirt jobs funded through rough and final grade. Plans start at $9.99 a month with a 14-day free trial and no credit card to start, and the whole app speaks six languages, English and Español both included.
Excavation bids on three things: equipment time (machine plus operator by the hour), trucking (haul-off and import by the load or ton), and mobilization to float the equipment to the site. Material, fill, gravel, topsoil, prices by the yard or ton on top. The wild card is what is under the surface, because rock, buried debris, or unsuitable soil turns a clean cut into billed machine hours, which is why the terms belong in writing before the first bucket.
A grading estimate should state machine hours, truck counts, and soil assumptions up front, carry a mobilization fee, and price rock or unsuitables at the hourly rate as-encountered. Multi-phase work should bill by stage. SayEstimate holds your equipment and trucking rates, your mobilization fee, and drafts the whole thing from a spoken walkthrough on Pro and Crew.
