The problem

Depth brackets turn a normal subdivision takeoff into days of manual sorting.

Utility estimators can trace pipe and structures, but the slow part is splitting runs into depth bands, checking assumptions, rolling quantities into a bid summary, and explaining the method later. TrenchCalc gives that workflow a repeatable worksheet, annotation convention, QA pass, and summary tab. It is estimating organization only, not engineering or design advice.
How it works

Up and running in minutes. Nothing to rip out.

1

Mark runs consistently

Use the color and label convention so every run carries utility type, segment, depth band, and notes before quantities leave the plan.

2

Drop quantities into the bracket sheet

Paste or type linear feet, structures, services, and notes into tabs that keep sanitary, storm, and water work separated.

3

Run the QA and bid summary

Check missing bands, odd depths, duplicate segments, and assumption notes before totals roll into the bid-summary tab.

Why teams want it

The obvious, affordable choice.

◆

Built for small utility contractors

No platform migration or enterprise takeoff system. It fits teams already using Revu, PlanSwift, PDFs, and spreadsheets.

◆

Depth-bracket specific

The pack focuses on the painful sanitary, storm, and water sorting step instead of generic estimating templates.

◆

One-time purchase

Buy once, adapt the workbook to your local crews and bid items, and keep the SOP in your estimating folder.
