Get the 3D earthworks model right with AGTEK software

"It's easier to get the 3D earthworks model right, easier to train people…and unlike other software, it doesn't take you years to get good at using AGTEK Development Company, Inc."

That's the message from Jason V. Flaim, Lead Estimator for US Civil Engineering and Earthworks Contractor, Vollers, when Peter Haddock met him at Hexagon AB Live. 

He added: "You can train on AGTEK in a few days, and at the end of a month using it, you can make a very good model. That's why we have been using it for over 10 years now. 

"We started with estimating takeoffs, then moved on to calculating earthworks costs and even creating models to use with our machine control fleet. 

"It makes the whole process more efficient, and by getting the pricing right, we ensure we are making a profit. 

Talking to Jason, it's not just about the ease of use with the software. It's about how the AGTEK team listens to end users:

Jason: "I have attended a few user groups now, including the one at Hexagon Live, and I came with a list of asks this time. 

"One was to support better vertical wall calculations, and they have already added it to the next release, which is great. 

"For a company to be that proactive, it's just refreshing."
