AGTEK Gradework

Per seat Win & Set Up the Work

Heavy-civil earthwork takeoff and grading software for construction contractors -- provides cut-and-fill analysis, 3D modeling, GPS-based data integration, and quantity reporting from PDF, CAD, or drone imagery, serving residential, commercial, transportation, and utility infrastructure segments.

Agent-hostile

2.0 /5 composite score

Situational -- proven earthwork takeoff tool trusted by heavy-civil contractors with deep Hexagon ecosystem integration (drone, machine control); pricing is transparent ($650/user/month per Capterra, no free trial) but steep for a solo/small-team budget, and the GUI-only desktop interface (no API/CLI -- RF2) with proprietary data formats limits agent-driven workflows.
