Volume calculations done right
Quickly perform material volume calculation and cut-fill volume calculation on any device, anywhere—with speed and confidence.

Fast and accurate volume calculations
With Propeller’s point-and-click volume calculations, you can measure stockpile volume, cut-fill volumes, and material moved to track progress. Share real-time volume data between the office and the field to keep projects on time and on track.
Know your material volumes—without the guesswork
Eliminate manual volume measurement and get the most reliable data available, instantly.
Track site changes with precision
Understand how much material you have on hand and how much you’re moving with machine tracking, earthworks progress tracking, and real-time surface data.
Make the most of every dollar
Calculate stockpile volume measurement with 3cm drone volume calculation accuracy to stay on top of shrink/swell, verify billing quantities, and minimize waste.
Build to plan with confidence
Compare wall and bench volumes against designs to make sure you’re building to the right specs using earthworks volume measurement software.
