Sitework Estimating Services
Sitework covers everything outside the building walls: parking lots, driveways, sidewalks, utility lines, fencing, and landscaping. On many projects, it’s one of the largest packages, and it involves several different subcontractors.
Estimexa provides sitework estimates for contractors across the USA. We take your site and civil plans and price each part of the work, from the first utility trench to the final parking stripe.
You get one organized estimate for the whole site, ready to compare with sub bids or include in your proposal.
What Is Sitework?
Sitework is all construction outside the building footprint, up to the property line. It prepares the land, connects the building to utilities, and creates the paved and landscaped areas around it. A sitework estimate lists the quantities and costs for each of these items.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between sitework and civil work?
Sitework usually means work on a private building site, such as parking lots, site utilities, and landscaping. Civil work often refers to public infrastructure, like roads, bridges, and city utility systems.
Is earthwork part of sitework?
Often, yes. Earthwork is the grading and excavation that comes first. Many contractors bid it together with sitework, but it can also be estimated on its own.
How much does sitework cost per square foot?
It depends on the site size, amount of paving, utility depth, and local rates. A takeoff from your site plans gives the most accurate number.
What drawings do you need?
Site plans, grading plans, utility plans, and paving details. A landscape plan is needed if landscaping is part of your scope.
