## Reviews

### "HGC Loves AGTEK - It Provides Us 'Dirt. Simple. Solutions.'" — 5.0/5

> **Spencer** | *October 24, 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love the integration of the Gradework/Earthwork portion of the program with the Underground portion of the program. This allows for a smoother user experience allowing the user to make changes on the earthwork side of the project and see how it directly impacts the utility design with a couple clicks of a button. I also love the
> 
> **Cons**: Although there are few dislikes...my main pain point is the lack of detail we can apply to strata layers. I would love to have more strata layers. We encounter 10+ soil scenarios on many of our projects and have to figure out the risk of not adding a layer because AGTEK caps that limit at 10 surfaces.  I'd also love for the user to have the ability to enter moisture contents, blow counts, and possibly (not required) the liquid limit and plasticity index of soils when entering the strata layer information. These are million dollar decisions that we can make if we had this information available to the user.
> 
> I have been around AGTEK since the early 2000's with digitizing boards and have been a regular user for 11 years. AGTEK has been great to work with and I always get an answer to my question.  The sales team is responsive and the technological support has always had a timely response to my questions or pain points.

### "AGTEK Suggestions" — 5.0/5

> **Andrew** | *January 29, 2026* | Mining & Metals | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: ATEK is currently the top of its class for earthwork takeoff. Its potential seems to be limited by only the user that is working with the program.
> 
> **Cons**: I would like to see a better way to convert stone for pipe bedding. Currently we have to do it manually. If there is a way to have a conversion rate that works similar to the fill factor that would be very helpful.
> 
> Customer service and overall product performance is top of this field. I have contacted customer support and our area rep numerous times and i always get a positive response.

### "Ground up Improvement\!" — 4.0/5

> **Edir** | *March 3, 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Customer Support is by far the strongest reason to recommended the product, the response time and the confidence that Agtek provides from customer support is superb, plus the webinars are fantastic\!
> 
> **Cons**: Agtek is prone to crashing when overwhelmed, it requires more power from the computer and graphics card than what is recommend on their site. Agtek will "run" with minimal specs, but it will crash more frequently with minimal specs which a no-brainer for those who are tech savy, but not for the ones who aren't.
> 
> Much better than earthwork 4D. Seems to run better than the previous version. Also the additional layers make it a breeze to when having multi phase projects.

### "AGTEK Gradework review" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *February 26, 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I really like is the accuracy of the cut and fill calculations. Recently on a commercial site, I built the existing and proposed surfaces to run comparisons. The volume breakdown was detailed. When we compared the AGTEK quantities to the engineer’s estimated numbers, they were very close.&#10;3D modeling is another feature I rely on heavily. Being able to rotate the site, visually inspect slopes and drainage patterns has helped me catch grading spikes that didn’t look right in plan view I was able to fix the mistake.&#10;Cross sections are also strong. Once you understand the workflow, generating sections along roads is straight forward. The estimator \&amp; I especially like being able to apply my cross sections to google earth KMZ file and see the work on the map.
> 
> **Cons**: I am running the program on a fairly new computer yet sometimes when the file is to big it will take a long time to print. AGTEK support team are very knowledgeable, and they helped me reduce the amount of time to print.
> 
> Overall, once I got past the learning curve, it’s a powerful tool that gave me confidence in my earthwork numbers. It’s not the easiest program to learn, but it’s one I rely on when accuracy matters, so when my Estimator asks me about how accurate my numbers are I tell him it’s 99%, the other 1% could be my fault 😊.

### "Daily use and no signs of stopping\!" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *January 29, 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Fast and easy way to get a complete take-off for all things earthwork. Reports are set up and ready to present in front of owners/clients/coworkers in minutes.  We also use the surfaces to create files for the gps systems in the field (for the rovers and the machines)
> 
> **Cons**: the biggest complaint I have is that the screen can not be rotated. If a file is set up in real world coordinates they are sometimes facing odd directions and it would be better if the screen could be oriented in a better way to read it. Even rotating 90 degrees at a time would be better than having to look at it upside down or sideways.
> 
> The company has used Agtek for earthwork takeoff for 30ish years. We have been using materials for over 10 years. Now we are using underground for pipework and reveal for drones. It is like one stop shopping for anything involving sitework estimating and design. Every so often if we get stuck and have to reach out to the help desk they are fast to respond and always solve the problems in a timely manner.  I can not wait to see what else comes out in the next 20 years.
