How to estimate the quantity or number of dump trucks necessary for cut & filling of soil

This construction video tutorial provides detailed guidelines for computing the quantity or number of dump trucks essential for cut filling of soil.

Cutting and filling stands for the method of shifting soil from one place to another for leveling the ground properly.

A ‘cut’ is formed if the soil is cut from beyond the required ground height and a ‘fill’ is formed if the soil is employed to stuff a hole to preferred ground level. Cutting and filling is most recognized method that is applied to develop a uniform ground surface.
There is a risk associated with cutting and filling the land specifically when the desired land for filling is utilized for your house foundations. Each time earth is shifted the natural compaction is affected, and soil under this condition is frequently defined as ‘fluffed’ or ‘aerated’.
The soil should be compacted to resist settling so that it becomes safe for being used in foundation. If it's improperly compacted, settling soil can lead to cracked foundations.
Cutting and filling is usually done with earth moving equipment like skid-steer loaders or bulldozers. Based on the size and shape of your site, it is recommended to apply a drum roll style compactor or a plate compactor.

Home building Estimating Program in Excel

This exclusive video tutorial is presented by Bob Hall. Creating bids with a simple pen, pad and calculator is possible but quite difficult. Working with a computer and spreadsheets is more convenient but is still sprawling and complicated to manage.

Construction estimating software like CBD Estimating by Comprotex Software, Inc. comes with pre-programmed Microsoft Excel formulas specifically designed to help you create bids.

While it doesn't have a full feature set like other bid-creator software we reviewed, CBD Estimating does have a familiar interface, a simple design and allows you to cost a job in an efficient manner. Before you buy this software, know that it only functions on computers with Microsoft Excel. We would like to see it be able to act independently, but that's how it works.

CBD Estimating features navigational tabs so that you can easily switch between the setup window, the main window, the scheduling window, the tracking window, the summary window, the notes window and the change order window. This tabbed interface will help guide you to the windows where you can number cost codes, print schedules, track costs and more. You can add more tabs, if necessary.
