I have been using InSite since doing take offs on a digitizer which is what I learned on. Their support has always been fantastic - shoutout to \[sensitive content hidden\]!! Being able to see InSite Elevation Pro compared to what I was using then just goes to show that they are always bettering the software every chance they get. I have no complaints of InSite Elevation Pro!

Pros

This software is very user friendly. I feel that it is very easy to learn and if you have any questions insite service is super responsive and helpful!

Cons

I don't think I can pinpoint a specific item that I do not like about the software. It is an all around great software for the dirtwork contractor!

Response from Vendor

March 13, 2026

Thank you for the positive review! Our team was at CONEXPO last week and had a customer stop by with a receipt from 1995—almost certainly for a digitizer running on a DOS version (yikes!). We’re incredibly appreciative of the trust so many excavation professionals place in us to produce accurate results. The best news is that with Elevation Pro being a ground-up rewrite on a modern tech stack, new features are coming quickly that will take this industry to new places. Thanks again for your support!

Overall happy with the product, definitely room for additional features but provides a quick way to generate accurate earthwork quantities.

Pros

Quick and easy vectorizing of pdf files. Use this software daily and get quantities that match other reports from software like TBC and AgTek.

Cons

Limited customizations—can’t edit colors of cut fill map, can’t add nodes easily to existing boundaries

Value for your money and customer support are unbeatable. If there is something you can't figure out how to do correctly and you contact support they will make it a priority to help you to understand. Their training classes are straight to the point and the lessons you are provided with from the get go, teach you everything you need to know for success. Utilizing the 3D live features really help me to visualize my site.

Pros

The ease and efficiency of performing a grading takeoff. It is faster and easier than other platforms. Everything is very straightforward. It has increased my bidding and estimating efficiency ten fold.

Cons

I have no complaints with Insite, it is my favorite takeoff program hands down. It takes a fraction of the time to perform a grading takeoff accurately when compared to Trimble Business Center.

Price and ease of use. Trimble Business Center can be very complex and hard to learn. InSite Elevation Pro can be mastered in much less time. They have really thought this product through and worked hard to make it as easy and efficient as possible.

It's been a smooth transition from the old program to InSite Elevation. The learning curve is nowhere near as hard as I expected.

Pros

Smooth and Straight Forward. Classes are super helpful. Customer Support has been great. It can really speed up Earthwork Takeoff once you get the hang of it.

Cons

I haven't figured out an exclude area option yet. I figured out a workaround, but I feel like there is or should be an easier way to exclude any area you don't want touched.

Overall I am very pleased with my use of InSite Elevation. It saves me countless hours of cut and fill calculations, provides very clear and accurate results, and is very user friendly. The technical support they provide to their customers is great, and the development team is very active about optimizing the software to it's customers. My only caveat about the product is I do still use other takeoff software to do measurements besides the cut and fill quantities and surface square footage. That being said, the combination of InSite and another software like Bluebeam is still far cheaper per month in subscriptions than the more expensive earthwork software out there.

Pros

The accuracy of cut and fill quantities for the amount of time spent working on a project in InSite Elevation can provide is top notch. To complete a cut and fill by hand and calculate it on your own to the degree of detail InSite can do would take exponentially more time.

Cons

The takeoff tools provided in the software that are not cut and fill related(linear foot measurements, area measurements, counting) are not as adequate compared to other takeoff software out there.

Overall this is a great program that helps us effectively bid jobs and to be accurate. It is also great that support is available when needed.

Pros

The ability to to take a complex jobsite and clearly illustrate quantities of materials, cut and fill, and measurement tools, with a lot of reporting readily available.

Cons

The worst part of Insite Elevation Pro is getting all of the data put in when the software cannot identify the vector data on a PDF, which then requires manual tracing of all vector data.

Our experience with Elevation Pro has been really positive. We were super impressed with the sales team that provided the demos, which is largely why we went with InSite compared to the big names in the takeoff/estimating software industry.

Pros

What I like most about Elevation Pro is the customer support. Whenever I have a question or run into a problem, the support team is there to help me sort it out.

Cons

I wish there was a better way to keep track of overridden trenches when using a location type centerline. Most of the time, I use a location type centerline when backfill material changes as the pipe passes between hardscaped/landscaped sections. It would be nice to have a visual difference between the two so I can better keep track of what backfill type I modeled. Also, assigning colors to specific pipe layers would be awesome so I don't have to find the right color each time I create a new centerline. For example, blue is assigned to the waterline layer, green to sewer, orange to storm drain, etc.

Reasons for choosing InSite Elevation Pro

I'm new to estimating, so I was not aware of the size and reputation of companies like AGTEK and Trimble. Your sales team was just lightyears better. I felt confident InSite was a better place to put our money compared to others.

Thank you for such a detailed and thoughtful review! Providing responsive, knowledgeable support is something we take a lot of pride in. We also appreciate your suggestions regarding visual indicators for overridden trenches and the ability to assign default colors to specific pipe layers. Feedback like this is incredibly valuable and helps guide future improvements to make workflows even clearer and more efficient. We're honored that you chose InSite over other well-known options and that our team helped earn your confidence.

Great software that is incredibly easy to use. I really love the convenience of it being web based and accessible from anywhere.

Pros

The 2D takeoff tools are fast and precise, while the CAD functionality handles detailed plans smoothly without lag. Its utility takeoff features are especially helpful for producing detailed, reliable estimates without extra manual work.

Cons

The only improvement I’d suggest is having the drawings and files fully embedded within the software.

Response from Vendor

March 13, 2026

Thank you for the great feedback! We're glad to hear that the speed and precision are helping you work efficiently. As for the suggestion about having drawings and files fully embedded within the software......that would have some merit, but often a takeoff might go through many revisions and have multiple PDF pages, CAD files, Drone topos, surveys, etc. aligned, making for some potential huge and inefficient files. You will be happy to know the next version will make it much easier to reopen aligned files, speeding the workflow. Being able to work from anywhere is something we know is important for our users. (For those reading this review, E-Pro is a locally installed application with cloud based licensing with the option to check out the software so you can work without an internet connection. Many of our customers are in jobsite trailers with at best a phone hotspot connection.) Thanks again for sharing your experience with InSite!

Pros

InSite Elevation Pro has revamped our earthwork takeoff and estimating process. A slight learning curve to start, as expected when transitioning from previous version, but update provides cleaner interface and user experience. Report functions remain the same and integrate seamlessly into our estimating software.

Cons

Toolbar and user interface did take a little longer than anticipated to overcome and familiarize self with. Also, not having the "zoom to" tools could be possible improvement.

We’ve been very satisfied with our experience with InSite. We’ve been using their software for several years now, and will continue to do so in the future.

Pros

We really enjoy the customer service we receive from InSite. They are always quick to answer any questions we may have, and have promptly walked me through any issue I’ve had.

Cons

I wish InSite would offer a training class in the Atlanta area. We would like to learn how to incorporate CAD files in our takeoffs, and feel that would be a good opportunity to learn how.

We offer our Regional classes near major hub airports, and I’ve added your vote for an Atlanta session. In the meantime, I recommend the Elevation 102 and 103 classes, which cover CAD import and other advanced techniques. These sessions are led by a live instructor and provide great hands-on guidance.
