Preconstruction Services in St. Charles

Getting in early makes all the difference. We partner with general contractors, civil engineers, and developers during design — not after bid day. Using AGTEK 2D cut/fill takeoffs and 3D earthwork models, drone-flown topo verification, and HCSS HeavyBid estimating built on real production data, we help shape smarter, more cost-efficient sites: balanced mass grading, minimized export, rock identified early, and utility routes value-engineered before they're drawn in stone.

  • Value engineering & constructability review
  • AGTEK 2D cut/fill takeoffs & site balancing
  • 3D earthwork modeling & visualization
  • Drone topo & existing-grade verification
  • HCSS HeavyBid estimating with real production data
