Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in a machine control model?
A 3D surface file and linework built in Civil 3D that your dozer, grader, or excavator loads to cut and fill directly to design, compatible with Trimble, Topcon, Leica, Cat Grade, and Komatsu IMC. Revision turnarounds for change orders are included.
How is pricing determined for each service?
Pricing depends on site size, complexity, and how much field time is required. The prices listed on this page (like $1,850 avg for machine control modeling) reflect typical jobs, request a quote for an exact number on your site.
What software does Civil Mesh work in?
Civil 3D, the same platform most civil engineers design in. That means no format translation and no rework when our models meet your engineer's plans.
How fast is turnaround?
Most machine control models and earthwork takeoffs turn around in 3 to 5 business days. Construction surveying is scheduled around your crew, and grading plan audits typically take 5 business days.
Can Civil Mesh handle revisions after a change order?
Yes, revision turnarounds for change orders are built into our machine control modeling service, and fast-turn revisions are included with earthwork takeoffs as plans change.
