What Other EarthWorks Are Saying
Don’t just take it from us, let our customers do the talking!
“We have been using Earthworks for 7 years and it has been a major asset to our business. It allows us to prepare an accurate estimate in a minimal amount of time. ”
“The ease of use and results were the main factor in considering an earthwork program and when we looked into Earthworks we didn’t need to look any further, we love Earthworks. The technical assistance we’ve experienced is 2nd to none, this was a very pleasant surprise, it is really nice to be able to call a company and speak to a person and not a voice mail box, all the problems we’ve encountered were taken care of with ease. Thanks Trakware ”
“Easy to get running with this program. I used to use a much more expensive product at my last company but it was too complicated to use. I like EarthWorks simplicity. I also like it when the lady talks so I dont have to look at the screen. I wish more software was like this ”

Q: Do you have that auto-trace thing where you don’t have to trace stuff?
Yes and it’s called Vector takeoff. For any PDF saved directly from AutoCAD, we can import all your linework directly. That means to can complete a takeoff with no or little tracing.
If you have a scanned drawing, we have TurboFit that will help you trace your work faster.

If you purchase the AutoCAD Element, we can export all your Proposed elevations in an AutoCAD DXF file. You can then import that DXF file into any other program.
You can also export your excavation totals to Excel.
Q: Do you guys do takeoffs?
We have a service called Takeoff Army that will enter all your drawing’s elevations, building pads, parking lots and such. All that you’ll have to do is put in the drawing’s Subgrades, Perimeter and Topsoil areas. That means we do 90% of the takeoff for you. If you’d like someone to do complete takeoffs for you, we have several independent estimators we can recommend to you.
Q: How long have we been in business? Are we going anywhere?
We started Trakware in 1992 and introduced EarthWorks at the ConExpo in Las Vegas in February of that year. Our approach of writing simple to use and affordable software has been successful from the start and we look forward to serving the construction industry for decades to come.
