AGTEK Gradework review
A specialized Windows takeoff platform for detailed earthwork, surfaces, and machine-control workflows.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
AGTEK Gradework is Windows desktop construction takeoff software for contractors, engineers, estimators, and project managers working with earthwork and civil quantities. It handles PDF, CAD, survey, terrain, and image inputs, then supports cut-and-fill calculations, 3D visualization, surface modeling, phase- and structure-based quantity analysis, reporting, and mobile data synchronization. The product is most aligned with heavy civil and earthwork teams that need detailed quantity control from planning through field operations.
Pricing is customized, with buyers directed to contact sales. The published product details do not define fixed Gradework tiers, so the commercial evaluation depends on the proposed package and workflow requirements. Its ecosystem includes Leica, Topcon, and Trimble integrations, along with Google Earth, SmartPlan, SmartDirt, CAD software, and estimating programs. Exports include CAD, machine-control, Google Earth, mobile, and construction data formats such as DWG, DXF, CSV, KMZ, LAS, XYZ, TN3, LN3, and TTM. That breadth supports teams moving measurements into design, estimating, mapping, and field systems.
The standout strength is depth across earthwork data: users can combine 2D and 3D measurements with surfaces, drone imagery, point clouds, custom material assemblies, reusable symbols, and machine-control model creation. Materials and underground takeoff integration adds scope beyond surface quantities. Gradework should suit organizations whose work depends on terrain, quantities, and connected field deliverables. Teams seeking a general-purpose takeoff product with a broader, less specialized focus may prefer an alternative, while earthwork contractors are more likely to benefit from its specialized workflow.
AGTEK Gradework pros and cons
- Where it wins
- Combines 2D and 3D takeoff with cut-and-fill volume calculations
- Creates machine-control models and processes drone and point-cloud data
- Supports reusable assemblies, custom symbols, and broad file-format coverage
- Where it doesn't
- Windows-only desktop software
- Pricing requires contacting sales
- Specialized earthwork focus may not suit general takeoff needs
