Tender & Estimating Volumes

With 15 years of engineering survey experience, we deliver precise volumetric calculations to help you bid confidently and manage project costs effectively.

The Challenges of Accurate Volume Estimation

Estimating earthwork volumes for tenders is one of the most consequential calculations in construction planning. Inaccurate estimates can lead to significant financial exposure and project delays.

• Incomplete Site Data

  Traditional methods often rely on limited survey points, creating gaps in your terrain model that increase estimation risk and potential cost overruns.

• Time Pressure

  Tender deadlines don't wait. When you need quick volume estimates to submit competitive bids, delays in data collection and processing can cost you valuable opportunities.

• Financial Exposure

  Miscalculated volumes lead directly to budget overruns, affecting your bottom line and potentially damaging client relationships when variations become necessary.

• Resource Allocation

  Without accurate volume estimates, you risk either over-committing equipment and personnel or scrambling for additional resources mid-project.

Solving Your Volume Estimation Challenges

At Outright Surveying, we've spent over 15 years refining our approach to volumetric calculations, providing the data you need to bid confidently and manage earthworks efficiently.

• Complete Coverage

  Our advanced surveying techniques capture comprehensive site data, eliminating information gaps and providing a complete picture for more accurate volume calculations.

• Rapid Delivery

  We understand tender timelines. Our streamlined processes deliver accurate volume estimates quickly, giving you more time to refine your bid and pricing strategy.

• Financial Confidence

  Our proven calculation methods minimize the risk of variations, helping you protect your margins and avoid costly surprises during project execution.

• Optimized Planning

  With precise volume data, you can confidently plan resource allocation, equipment requirements, and timelines, maximizing efficiency from day one.

Tender & Estimating Volume Services

Our experienced team provides comprehensive volumetric services tailored to your specific project needs, whether you're preparing a tender submission or managing ongoing earthworks.

• Pre-Tender Site Surveys

  We capture accurate existing ground conditions using our advanced surveying equipment, establishing a reliable baseline for your volume calculations and reducing estimation risk.

• Cut/Fill Analysis

  Our team calculates precise cut and fill volumes between existing and design surfaces, helping you optimize earthworks operations and minimize material movement costs.

• Mass Haul Planning

  We analyse the distribution of materials across your site, identifying the most efficient movement patterns to reduce equipment cycles and fuel consumption.

• Progress Verification

  During project execution, we provide regular volume surveys to verify quantities claimed, track progress against projections, and identify potential issues before they impact your schedule.

Our Equipment

Our advanced technology delivers precise volume calculations for projects of any size. Our DJI Mavic 3E drones quickly capture high-resolution imagery for detailed terrain models, while our Matrice M350 with CHCNAV LiDAR penetrates vegetation for true ground surfaces.

We process all data using industry-leading software including 12D, Trimble Business Center, and AutoCAD. For complex sites, our Leica MS60 and Trimble SX10 multi-stations combine conventional and scanning methods to ensure complete data capture without sacrificing accuracy.
