Bedrock vs Kubla Cubed: cut and fill software compared

Kubla Cubed is a dedicated earthwork takeoff program for cut and fill from drawings, popular with contractors who want a focused tool. Bedrock's Earthwork Pro does cut and fill too, in the browser, and reads contour labels and spot grades off civil PDFs for you to review. The difference is what happens next: in Bedrock the yards go onto the job's estimate and proposal. If you only need volumes, a focused earthwork program may be all you need. If you price the job in the same place, Bedrock saves the re-typing.

Kubla Cubed is built around one job: earthwork volumes from drawings. Bedrock's Earthwork Pro does that job inside an estimating app, so the volumes are priced on the same estimate as everything else.

Kubla Cubed is a focused earthwork takeoff program. Bedrock is a takeoff, estimating and proposal platform with earthwork included in Premier.

Questions

Is Bedrock a Kubla Cubed alternative?

Yes, if you want cut and fill in the same app as your estimate. Earthwork Pro reads contours and spot grades from civil PDFs, builds existing and proposed surfaces and gives bank cut, fill and net import or export.

Is Bedrock's earthwork in metric?

Yes. A metric job shows cubic and square metres; an imperial job shows cubic yards and square feet.

Does Bedrock work offline?

No. Bedrock runs in the browser and needs a connection. A save made during a short drop is retried when you're back online.
