Propeller gives earthwork teams one shared map to track cut/fill progress, resolve billing disputes, and share live site data with clients without estimates or guesswork. 63% of construction pros now measure success by material moved. This is how you prove it.
Earthwork teams make decisions every day that affect schedules, margins, and safety. Too many are still making them on incomplete information: manual surveys, paper logs, and estimates that don’t reflect what’s actually on the ground.
Propeller gives every stakeholder one shared map, with the data to cut costs, prevent rework, and prove progress at every stage of the job.
In our Earthwork Report, we surveyed hundreds of professionals across construction, aggregates, mining, and waste management. One finding stood out: 63% of construction professionals said “material moved” was their most important metric, up from 28% two years earlier. More teams are being measured by what they can prove, not what they estimate.
Propeller customers have seen that proof pay off. Teams that build a consistent drone survey workflow have recouped 10x their investment in the first year.
Check out the video below to see how Propeller’s progress tracking works. Then read on to see how it delivers results.
Import your design surface in seconds, then run a cut/fill comparison to see exactly where you stand against plan. The Timeline feature lets you scroll through every capture to prove what moved, when, and how much.
Need to check a specific window of work? Overlay any two survey dates and get a clear picture of cut/fill across the entire site. Zoom into a polygon to isolate any area of interest.
When every stakeholder works from the same verified surface, there’s no debate about work rate or billing. Just a shared record everyone can point to.
Billing disputes usually come down to one question: how much dirt actually moved? With Propeller, that answer is always documented, timestamped, and accurate within 1/10 ft (3 cm).
Use the Timeline to compare any two survey captures. Use the Polygon tool to isolate a specific area. Use the Line tool to review the elevation history of any point on site. The data is there when you need it: a subcontractor payment, a client audit, or a dispute you didn’t see coming.
Propeller takes the guesswork out of conflicts by giving every stakeholder access to the same verified work record.
Cut/fill maps show exactly what’s been done and what’s left. No estimates. No reconciliation. A data-backed record of progress that every stakeholder can see.
Add as many users as the project needs, then share with external stakeholders via View-only access. They get a live snapshot of site progress without access to your measurements, exports, or internal data.
When clients work from the same map you do, sign-offs happen faster and trust builds with every update.
Before you bid or break ground, you need to know what you’re working with. Capture an initial survey, import your final grade, and compare the two so your scope reflects the site, not an assumption.
Import a design surface in a few clicks and calculate true earthwork volume before a single machine moves. That accuracy protects your margins from day one.
In our Earthwork Report, “getting the job done right” was the top motivator among construction professionals. Propeller gives teams the data to do exactly that, from the first bid to the final sign-off.
Propeller doesn’t require a GIS specialist to get value. Three tools, Point, Line, and Polygon, are all it takes for anyone on your team to measure, report, and share site data from anywhere.
Crew links push interactive site maps to any mobile device. No app download, no training required. Access is fully permission-based, so you decide who sees what, inside the organization and out.
Teams that start making decisions from real data stop second-guessing their numbers. More accurate bids, less rework, and fewer disputes: the platform pays for itself through the work it makes easier.
When teams work from the same verified map, progress is something you prove, not something you estimate. Request a demo.
We’re happy to show you how Propeller can power your worksite, and boost productivity.
