Bedrock vs Vertigraph SiteWorx: earthwork takeoff compared
Vertigraph's SiteWorx is a dedicated earthwork takeoff program for cut and fill from plans. Bedrock's Earthwork Pro covers bid-stage cut and fill too, reading contours, elevation labels and spot grades off civil PDFs for you to review, and then sends the yards to the job's estimate, proposal and budget. A dedicated program suits a shop that only needs volumes; Bedrock suits one that prices the whole job in one place.
SiteWorx is a focused earthwork takeoff tool. Bedrock's Earthwork Pro sits inside a full estimating app, on the same plans as the rest of your takeoff.
SiteWorx is an earthwork takeoff program. Bedrock is takeoff, estimating and proposals, with earthwork included in Premier.

Questions
Is Bedrock a SiteWorx alternative?
Yes, if you want cut and fill in the same app as your estimate and proposal. Earthwork Pro is included in Premier and in trials, for companies whose trades include earthwork, concrete & earthwork, or paving & sitework.
What does Earthwork Pro give me?
Existing and proposed surfaces, bank cubic yards of cut and fill, cut and fill areas, net import or export, a cut/fill map over the plan and a 3D view, then the quantities as line items on the job's estimate.
Does sending quantities again overwrite my prices?
No. Sending again updates the quantities on the existing lines and keeps your prices, descriptions and notes.
