Estimating a sitework job is monotonous and tedious work. You can easily find yourself spending hours or days gridding off a set of plans, just to find cut and fill quantities for a single job. And when you're done, how do you know your numbers are accurate? You have to go back and re-check your work — and who has time
for that?

Quest Solutions has the answer — our Civil Solution, a suite of digitized takeoff and estimating software designed to help sitework contractors overcome the challenges they face on every job.

The Civil Solution is a complete, all-in-one estimating system that's designed to handle bids from start to finish. That means you can use the Civil Solution for every step of the estimating process, from the initial takeoff to printing out your final bid. No more re-typing quantities and costs into a spreadsheet — the Civil Solution takes care of that for you. And it integrates with most 3rd-party business software, so sharing data with accounting or scheduling software is hassle-free.

The Civil Solution is driven by the seamless interaction of Quest Earthwork and Quest Estimator. Simply use Earthwork's fast, accurate and easy-to-use digitized takeoff to calculate your cut-and-fill quantities. Then just click a button and send those quantities to Estimator, where you can figure your excavation costs and price out the entire job, including any special construction areas. Estimator rolls everything up to generate a precise estimate in a fraction of the time you're used to.

To that, we add Quest's line of sitework-specific Visual Assemblies — our exclusive software tools that allow you to take off multiple items in a single pass. Does your project call for asphalt paving? Don't worry about calculating the volume of wearing or base you'll need. With the Visual Asphalt Paving Assembly, all you have to do is type in some rudimentary dimensions, and the Civil Solution takes care of the rest.

And if you're involved with infrastructure and utilities construction, you can extend your Civil Solution with Quest Cross Sections, Quest Roadwork and Quest Trenchwork.
