AGTEK Gradework
AGTEK lists its headquarters at 396 Earhart Way, Livermore, California.
What it is
AGTEK Gradework is Windows earthwork takeoff software for construction planning, estimating, and field operations. It supports cut-and-fill calculations and quantity analysis by phase or structure, along with volume calculations, strata details, and sectional areas. Teams can take off directly from CAD or PDF drawings or enter information manually. The software also processes drone data for earthwork and materials progress tracking, using imagery and point clouds to monitor site conditions. For field work, it exports machine control models compatible with Leica, Topcon, and Trimble systems. Sharing options include Google Earth exports, mobile app data sync, customized exports to estimating programs, and industry-standard file exchange. Materials and Underground are optional integrations. AGTEK recommends 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 and lists Windows 10 as the minimum. Some processors and graphics cards may be incompatible, and version 1.12.5.6 is not backwards compatible with older Gradework and Earthwork 4D versions. Pricing is available on request through a local sales representative.
