THE YARDARIS WORKFLOW
From material quantity to hauling plan.
Yardaris keeps the estimating chain connected so each result can be traced back to the inputs and formulas that created it.

BUILT FOR THE WORK
For the people estimating, planning and moving material.
EstimatorsTurn takeoff quantities into loads, production, duration and cost.
DispatchersMatch fleet size to cycle time and loading capacity before trucks stack up.
Grading ContractorsPlan dirt, aggregate, asphalt, excavation, fill, trucking and production from one connected workflow.
Sitework TeamsUse transparent assumptions that can be adjusted to match the actual job.

EARTHWORK & QUANTITY
Earthwork and cubic-yard calculators
Calculate excavation quantities, convert area and depth to cubic yards, and account for swell or shrink when material changes condition.
Square Yards + Depth → CY
Convert known square yards and material depth into bank cubic yards for sitework estimating.

What material are you working with?
Soil / Dirt planning preset
Planning presets, not specifications. Actual density, swell and shrink vary by source, moisture, gradation, compaction and job conditions. Use supplier tickets, project geotechnical data, approved mix/JMF data or measured field values whenever available. Shrink is used when converting a known compacted quantity back to bank volume.

What does the operation cost?
Operating hours uses the exact modeled production time for hourly truck and equipment charges. Scheduled shifts bills hourly charges for whole planned workdays (for example, 1.8 days at 10 hr/day = 20 billable hours). If trucks are billed per load, this setting still controls hourly loader/equipment charges.
