Grade operations software

Run the work after the bid is won.

Grade Operations is CutFill’s name for daily job coordination: crews, equipment, job time, field notes, and closeout.

Definition

What grade operations software means

Assign the crew and machines, record what changes, and keep the office working from the same job record.

CutFill handles daily operations alongside your takeoff, estimating, survey, machine-control, and accounting tools.

Jobs, crews, equipment, and field updates connect to the same North Ridge job record in a shared office view.

The crew, equipment, tasks, and field record stay connected to the same job.

  1. Assign the people and equipment.
  2. Keep the work on the job.
  3. See the field update in context.

Where it fits

From assignment to the day’s record.

Start the job

Keep the customer, site, crew, equipment, and tasks together.

Record the work

Capture job time, task updates, notes, photos, and closeout.

Review what happened

Use the saved record to plan the next shift and support billing in your accounting tool.

Worked example

A grade operations day, from assignment to follow-up.

Illustrative workflow for an excavation or grading contractor. It shows where the daily operating record sits between winning the work and preparing the books.

  1. Set up the working job

    Put the customer, site, people, machines, and tasks on the job. The foreman and workers load their assigned work in CutFill Field.

  2. Record the change while it is fresh

    If an operator moves to another job, switch the time target and update the assignment. Keep the reason, field note, or photo with the work it explains.

  3. Close the job-day

    The foreman records work completed, applicable counts, delays, and what remains. Simple closeout is in Core; Expanded Jobs adds detailed area and count rules.

  4. Use the evidence for the next decision

    The office reviews the saved and synced records before planning tomorrow’s crew or preparing supporting detail for billing in its accounting tool.

Category fit

Where Grade Operations Software fits

Is this machine control or takeoff?

No. CutFill organizes the people, equipment, and daily records around active jobs. It does not model cut/fill or guide a machine.

Is it only for grading companies?

No. It also serves excavation and dirt work businesses, from owner-operators to multi-crew companies.
