Dear all ,

I am new here

I am working as a quantity surveyor.

I am doing most of my work in excel

Can anybody suggest the best quantity calculation format for earthwork from levels.

Thank you

renjithpaduvilan,

Do you have an example workbook that I would be able to look at? I am not quite sure what you want to calculate.

Im thinking that if "earthwork from levels" is a QS term, unless we have other QS's on the forum, probably very few members will have any idea what you are talking about?

Perhaps if you explained what you were trying to do, with maybe some examples, you might get help quicker?

I don't know what "earthwork from levels" is, let along QS

- But I do know that Google could help...

This Forum is for helping with Excel problems, it isn't a source of free software for professional bodies.

Put a workbook together that shows your needs and we might be able to help you with some areas that you are stuck with.

Google "earthworks from levels" to get some starting ideas.

Here's a couple I found very quickly ...
Earthworks

Calculating Formation Level Of A Road In AutoCad And MS Excell. EarthWorks Part 1
(Not to sure of the merit of the second one, it's maybe an Eastern thing)

Hi renjithpaduvilan

Length * Width * Depth * (1 + Bulk up %)

Your bulk up percentage will depend on what material you are removing. Try Here for a CAD add on. Maybe of some help!
