The "Back-Fill" Factor
A major "gotcha" in earthwork estimation is compaction. When you dig dirt out, it expands (fluff). When you put it back, it compacts (shrinks).
Earthwork Pro v3 incorporates these math adjustments natively. Instead of applying a generic 10% factor across the entire job in a spreadsheet, the software allows you to apply different swell and shrink factors to different zones. This granular control is where estimators find their edge—shaving just enough off the bid to be competitive without assuming undue risk.
