ABOUT COMET ESTIMATING
Earthwork is one of the most critical and cost-sensitive stages of construction. It determines site levels, drainage performance, foundation stability, and access for follow-on trades. Inaccurate quantities or poor planning can lead to cost blowouts, delays, and safety risks.
COMET Estimating specialises in professional earthwork estimating services across Australia. Our estimators carefully analyse site plans, grading drawings, soil reports, and project specifications. We calculate excavation volumes, cut-and-fill balances, compaction requirements, haulage distances, plant usage, and disposal costs with accuracy. This methodical approach allows you to plan effectively, avoid surprises, and deliver earthworks on time and within budget.

Earthwork projects can face serious challenges when estimates are inaccurate. At COMET Estimating, we know that incorrect earthwork quantities and costs can affect scheduling, budgeting, and overall project performance. Below are some of the most common problems caused by wrong earthwork estimates
Underestimating excavation, grading, or hauling quantities can lead to unexpected expenses and budget overruns.
Inaccurate earthwork estimates may cause equipment, labor, or material shortages, resulting in project delays and extended timelines.
Poor planning due to incorrect estimates can increase safety risks and lead to permit or compliance issues on site.
Wrong estimates can result in excess or insufficient materials, labor, or machinery, lowering efficiency and creating waste.
Frequent changes in cost and schedule can damage credibility and harm long-term client relationships.
When earthwork estimates are inaccurate, managing timelines, budgets, and site operations becomes more difficult.
