Complex infrastructure.
Non-standard conditions.
Estimates that hold.

I've been playing in the dirt for more than 20 years, and I still go looking for the site that surprises me.

Sitework is the one part of a project that answers to no one. The building gets drawn and built to spec. The dirt underneath was never consulted. It has its own water, its own history, its own strata, and its own opinion about what it will and won't do.

I came up pricing real work on real sites, watching where the numbers held and where they didn't. It taught me that a site cost is never one number in a cell. It's the design, the ground, the build, and the market, and they have to agree before the number holds.

I write about this in Design Cost Data and Estimating Today, and I make the case from the podium at industry conferences. I also wrote the excavation chapter for a peer-reviewed paper on estimating on the Moon. The point was not the Moon. It was to find out whether the way I read a site on Earth would still hold when nearly every site assumption fell away. It did.

I built Sitework Estimating Services doing this the long way, one site at a time. I see the cost of a decision before it is made. If your ground is complicated, we should talk.
