UNDERSTAND YOUR DIRT SITE BY SITE

You get a clear picture of every lot’s dirt situation—not just fit, but real topography, excavation, backfill, and net balance tied to the actual house and options. No more surprises after the fact.

Know cut, fill, and balance before you build.

Align sales, engineering, and operations with the same numbers.

Reduce rework and change orders caused by wrong dirt assumptions.

LEVERAGE DATA FOR BETTER BUSINESS DECISIONS

DIRTFITS turns dirt from a cost center into a decision tool. Use accurate data for lot selection, sequencing, estimating, subcontractor budgets, and community-level planning.

Make informed decisions about which lots to release and in what order.

Set realistic budgets and POs with real excavation and backfill numbers.

Model different scenarios at the site and community level.

RESOLVE DIRT ISSUES BEFORE THE BUILD

Compare existing topography to proposed grading and catch errors early. Fix issues before construction starts and avoid costly rework and delays.

Verify that grading was done to plan.

Document and resolve variances with contractors and developers.

Take recourse when expectations were not met, with data to back it up.

SCALE BEST PRACTICES WITH TEMPLATES

Template grading, driveways, and drainage to match your building practices. Get consistent, fast answers across hundreds of lots without sacrificing site-specific accuracy.

Standardize how you grade and drain while still reflecting each lot and house.

Speed up engineering and estimating with repeatable, parameter-driven plans.

Onboard new teams and communities with proven templates.

FIT YOUR BUSINESS AND YOUR OUTPUTS

DIRTFITS delivers site-specific grading plan outputs that fit your internal standards and the ever-changing requirements of production home building. One platform, one source of truth.

Outputs that match your engineering and jurisdictional needs.

Adapt as product mix and options change.

Fewer manual adjustments and re-drafts.

ACCELERATE ESTIMATING AND PO PROCESS

Enrich estimating and POs with real excavation and backfill data. Set cost expectations and subcontractor budgets quickly and with confidence.

Less time spent reconciling dirt numbers between engineering and estimating.

Fewer budget overruns from bad dirt assumptions.

Clear audit trail from topography to cost.

GRADE WITH FLEXIBILITY AND AWARENESS

Grade where you need to—through property lines or short of impact areas—with rules that match your criteria. Get alerts when grading creates neighbor or compliance issues so you can adjust before it’s too late.

Flexibility to match how you actually build.

Proactive awareness of impact to neighbors and regulations.

Fewer disputes and callbacks.

VISUALIZE THE WHOLE COMMUNITY IN 3D

See the community evolve in 3D—from full Revit house detail to pad, slab, or basement impact. Communicate dirt and grading clearly to sales, leadership, and partners.

One view that works for engineering and execs.

Better alignment between field, office, and customer expectations.

Clearer storytelling for lot and product positioning.

PLAN AT THE COMMUNITY LEVEL

Beyond individual lots, model dirt balance and impact across entire communities. Plan cut/fill, haul, and sequencing at the scale that matters for land development and operations.

Community-wide dirt balance and scenario modeling.

Smarter sequencing and logistics.

Better land and development decisions.

CONNECT TO YOUR SYSTEMS

DIRTFITS integrates with your ERP, data warehouse, and engineering workflow. Dirt data flows where you need it—no duplicate entry, no silos.

One source of dirt truth across systems.

Faster handoffs between engineering, estimating, and operations.

Ready for the systems you use today and tomorrow.

DIRTFITS doesn’t just report dirt—it helps you understand it, act on it, and scale it. From site-by-site clarity to community-wide planning, from templates to integrations, the benefits add up: better decisions, fewer surprises, and a business that leverages dirt data instead of being slowed by it.
