Excavation Software

Excavation Estimating Software

The fastest way for excavation contractors to quote, schedule, and get paid. Ditch the notepad and clunky spreadsheets and run your excavation business from one clean app.

Built for the way excavation contractors actually work

Excavation is heavy-equipment work priced by the hour, the yard, and the machine — a mis-scoped dig sinks the whole job.

Contractor Ace lets you build equipment and material line items once and produce accurate, professional dig estimates that protect your margin.

Quote every excavation job in seconds

Keep your pricing dialed in with saved line items, so accurate estimates go out in seconds.

Site clearing
Grading
Trenching
Foundation digs

Everything your excavation business needs in one app

Build a branded estimate in under a minute and send it by text before you leave the job.

Every customer, property, and past job in one searchable place.

Review Requests

How excavation contractors save time and money with Contractor Ace

The fastest-quoting excavation contractors win the most work, and Contractor Ace is built for speed. Reusable line items and saved pricing mean you're not rebuilding the same estimate for the hundredth time — you tap, adjust, and send before you've left the driveway. More quotes out the door means more jobs booked and more revenue every week.

Under-quoting and unbilled change orders quietly eat your margin. With accurate saved pricing and change orders you can capture and get signed on the spot, you protect the profit on every job instead of eating the cost of a scope creep you forgot to charge for.

Consolidating your estimating, invoicing, payments, and scheduling into one app cuts the monthly software bill and the hours wasted juggling apps that don't talk to each other. For most excavation business owners, the time saved on admin alone pays for the subscription many times over.
