SiteKite

Takeoff and earthwork, straight from the plans.

SiteKite opens the PDF plan set you were sent and measures it with you: pavement and concrete areas, cross sections, contours and cut and fill. It runs on your own computer, and your plans stay there.

SiteKite in Takeoff mode: a street plan with measured pavement areas and the list of markups

Three modules, one window

Buy the ones your work needs, from $30 a seat a month. Each opens with its own tools and a short list of steps that shows what comes next.

Auto takeoff: hatched pavement areas found on a plan sheet

Takeoff $30 a seat

Areas, lengths and counts on any PDF. On CAD-plotted plans SiteKite reads the hatches and line work itself: run an auto takeoff, or point at one area and let it find the rest like it. The suggestion follows the drawn line as you click, so a curb return takes one click, not twenty.

  • Labels carry their materials: 6" HMA over 8" AB becomes tons and cubic yards
  • Quantities by street, sheet and label, and a bid sheet in Excel
Cross sections: a sheet of road sections with existing and design lines traced

Cross sections & Freeway $100 a seat

For jobs drawn as sections every fifty feet. Set the grid once, take the existing and design lines with a click, and SiteKite carries them across the sheet and totals the volumes between stations.

  • Average end area volumes by station
  • The whole dashed line with one click
Gradework: existing and design contours numbered on a grading plan

Gradework $300 a seat

Build the existing and design surfaces from the grading plan. SiteKite reads the contour lines and their labels, numbers what it can, and shows you the ones left to check. Draw a line of your own where the sheet has none.

  • Cut and fill by area, with a grading limit
  • A 3D view to fly over, drive along or cut a section through

Works with what you have

The marked-up PDF opens in Bluebeam Revu with every area as a measurement. Quantities and the bid sheet are Excel workbooks. Sheets print on a title block with your logo.

Your plans stay yours

SiteKite runs on your computer. Nothing is uploaded unless you choose to share a job with your phone or your crew, and the license is checked on your machine.

Built by estimators

Every tool is there because a real bid needed it: joined sheets, dashed contours, match lines, plans plotted with a thousand hatch lines an area.
