The tool analyzes data from PDF, CAD or manual entry to create accurate bids and manage sites. It features 3D visualizations that help users divide projects into phases, extract volumes, detail strata and calculate sectional areas. The system generates machine control models, allowing precise control of machinery including dozers, excavators and graders. Gradework processes drone imagery and point clouds to calculate stockpile volumes, over-excavation quantities and monitor earthwork progress. The platform integrates with mobile applications for real-time information access in the field and exports data to various formats including estimating programs and Google Earth files. > > Verdict: Rated **4.8/5** by 53 users.

I also like the price point and for what it allows us as a company to achieve is definitely worth the money. I found that the customer support has been super helpful, the program is also that good i've only had to contact support once\! > > **Cons**: I don't like how you are unable to print from agtek to mark up drawings or overlay on to existing site plans and that only screenshotting works. > > I would say my overall experience with AGTEK Gradework is extremely positive. Before our company started using AGTEK Gradework alot of our earthworks at tender stage were based on rough calculations, but Gradework has allowed us to be even more precise and keep up with competition. The way that the Gradework UI is set up makes it super easy to use, especially with the Guide feature that helps you follow a set process for making Gradework models. Using Gradework has also allowed us to streamline our estimating \& tender processes massively which means we can also focus on other aspects of tendering. Overall I would recommend AGTEK Gradework to everybody and using it has had such a beneficial impact on our business. ----- ### "Demo Plus Agtek Review" — 5.0/5 > **JD** | *6 February 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Agtek allows us to be very efficient and accurate when performing take-offs. This results in better estimates, turned around on time, and able to provide illustrations to clients that help explain our inclusions and exclusions. > > **Cons**: Obviously, it's the cost. I do however think it is worth the investment, just it's always painful when a key needs to be added. > > I have been working with Agtek since we were digitizing paper plans. The improvements to the program over the last 20 years has illustrated their commitment to continuing to improve a already great product. I also am always completely satisfied with the support team as they are very prompt with responses and solutions. ----- ### "Sufficient 4 Star Product" — 4.0/5 > **Arthur** | *26 February 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Agtek is very expensive, would like it if they could bring the price down a bit. I think that soon we could see a saturation of cheaper competitors with less overhead due to AI. > > **Cons**: It lacks AI capabilities, wondering if they plan on sharing AI plans. I hope that they release AI soon. > > It has been sufficient for the work we do. workflow seems simple to follow and it generates takeoffs. Staff is excellent and that's the only reason this got 4 out of 5 stars. Lost a star because I don't like how they make new programs and charge more for them rather then upgrading the product people spent thousands on. It feels like a cash grab. ----- ### "Earthwork Hero: How AGTEK Makes My Job Easier" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *29 January 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: One of the things I like most about AGTEK Gradework is its ease of use once you are familiar with the workflow, along with the strong community and customer support behind the software. AGTEK offers responsive technical support and a knowledgeable user base, which makes troubleshooting and learning new features much more efficient. Having access to helpful resources, training, and experienced users adds significant value and confidence when working on complex grading and earthwork takeoffs. > > **Cons**: Occasionally, AGTEK Gradework can experience unexpected bugs that may result in temporary work loss. While this can be frustrating, the software generally allows for data recovery, and most issues can be resolved without permanent loss. Regular saving and backups help minimize the impact, but increased stability would further improve the overall experience. > > Overall, my experience with AGTEK Gradework has been wonderful. It is a program I truly enjoy using and rely on regularly for problem-solving and decision-making throughout the estimating and grading process. Its functionality, accuracy, and flexibility make it a go-to tool for a wide range of earthwork and site development challenges, and it has become an essential part of my workflow. ----- ### "Drones to Models, AGTEK can do it all\!" — 5.0/5 > **Tyrel** | *29 January 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Agtek Gradework is the total package for everything we do from drone work to estimating to model building. We have been using agtek software for 15+ years and will continue to do so. I came from a background with limited CAD experience, but through the vast amount of online videos and webinars, I was able to figure out how to do everything that we needed. If I could not find what I needed, customer support was second to none in helping me, every time and within minutes. > > **Cons**: Early on, (and in the end not the fault of the program) I ran into issues with the program crashing, but again through multiple discussions, customer support helped to solve the problem. > > Agtek is our go to program for what we do on a daily basis. The ability to build projects that we are going to bid and the options that we then have to look at with said project are second to none. Multiple times, we have found things that have given us an edge when it came to bid day. On the model building side, the 3D viewer makes a world of difference as well, especially when dealing with CAD files that have issues; being able to see clearly and manipulate the 3D views to find and fix is essential. The addition of underground and being able to see the pipe runs in place and any conflicts makes a world of difference. Overall, a great program and company to work with, and always impressed by continued innovation that Agtek brings year over year. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/531860/Gradework?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/531860/Gradework) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
