### "Beginner review"

February 24, 2026

5.0

Overall my experience has been excellent. Insite elevation pro has been very beneficial for our estimating department to be able to accurately take off earthwork projects.

Pros

Training. The training tutorials, videos, and classes make it very easy for a beginner with little to no experience learn how to use the software effectively. That was incredibly important for me and my company to be able to teach ourselves on our own time.

Cons

The cost. Overall the cost is very good for what you get, however, it would be nice to see the prices come down a touch.

Patrick, Thank you for the thoughtful review! We're glad to hear that the training resources — tutorials, videos, and classes — helped make it easy for you and your team to get up and running with Elevation Pro. Making the learning process accessible, especially for teams new to the software, is something we work hard to provide. We also appreciate your feedback on pricing. We’re always evaluating how we can deliver the most value while continuing to improve the platform and the support resources our customers rely on. It’s great to hear that Elevation Pro has been beneficial for your estimating department and helping with accurate earthwork takeoffs. Thanks again for sharing your experience and for being part of the InSite community!

### "The Best Program for Estimation at this Point + Some Suggested Features"

February 11, 2026

5.0

The InSite team has been incredibly helpful and determined to see us successful using their program. As the sole estimator at my company, it is imperative to have a good estimating software and that I have the resources to use it. InSite has accomplished that. They also seem to be constantly hard at work ensuring further development and new features. I am excited to see an in-program material catalog, but am looking forward with greater eagerness to layered/phased proposed grades and phased subgrades, as well as an intersect tool for subgrades. These would be the biggest help in my personal process.

Pros

I like it's accuracy, ease of use, and wide range of features. But most of all, I'd have to say I appreciate the ability to quickly view (and review) the site you have created using 3D live views, and even to overlay your takeoff to real world views using export to KMZ.

Cons

The price tag might be a little disheartening, but it is worth it for the speed, accuracy and consistency offered by this program. I don't think we could create as many accurate takeoffs or submit as many bids without it. Not really a "con" but I also discuss features in my "overall experience" which I think would help me the most in my takeoff process.

### "User Experience with Insite Elevation Pro"

February 16, 2026

5.0

Anytime there is an issue or I don't know how to do something, Insite's customer support is readily available and knowledgeable to answer questions. If needed, they can quickly remote into the program to look at it directly, not only telling me what to do but also showing me. Insite also periodically makes updates to take care of any gliches that may come up, and also add new features to improve program features and functions. for example, they recently added a feature to adjust the size of the numbers and letters that are printed on the printout maps, to match the size of the map and make them more readable when printed. Just like any estimating program, you have to learn how to input the information so it's useable when it comes out, but overall I've found this process relatively easy, and the reports very informative and useful. It creates accurate and useful data and maps very quickly and efficiently, and is a good value for the money.

Pros

I have been estimating for decades, going back to digitizer boards and early desktop computers. I've watched the evolution from them to takeoffs on multiple large monitors and lightning fast computers. Elevation Pro has proven to be very fast and efficient at inputting information. On multi-page projects, I can set plan scale and tie plans together in minutes. Being able to pull up multiple plan sheets simultaneously, I can cross reference and input data from multiple sources without having to get out of one to get into the others. While tracing contours, sloping lines, subgrades, etc., vector points pop up ahead of where I've traced, making imputing the data faster and more accurate.

Cons

The vector points are very useful, but they tend to be very jittery, popping in and out. Sometimes when multiple lines are close together, it can be like a wack-a-mole trying to click on them before they disappear again. It can be a little intense, but you get used to it. I would also like to be able to cut out sections of a subgrade, such as islands in a parking lot, without having to keyhole them, or rely on using higher numbered areas to accomplish this. Relying solely on numbered areas requires you to perfectly plan ahead for every contingency before you begin. If something changes or unknowns become apparent, you may have to redo some or all of the data. Fortunately, entering subgrade data is very fast, so it minimizes the hassle.

February 25, 2026

Gary, thank you for the thoughtful and detailed review — we truly appreciate the feedback. Multi-document alignment is currently exclusive to Elevation Pro, and we’re working toward AI-assisted multi-page stitching (with user confirmation). Our goal is to keep raising the bar on speed, accuracy, and validation. Regarding the “jittery” behavior: this is caused by data preselection in single-layer PDFs where elements can’t be separated. The video under Help &gt; Videos &gt; Pro Tips &gt; Magnetic Endpoint Selection shows how to harness this feature and improve efficiency. On CAD or layered files, isolating layers eliminates the issue. We also have a major release after ConExpo that addresses many of your other suggestions. We’re excited about what’s coming and appreciate you helping us continue to improve.

### "Many positives from previous software "

February 26, 2026

4.0

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're glad to hear Elevation Pro has helped revamp your earthwork takeoff and estimating process, and that the updated interface and overall user experience are making a positive difference. We are glad to hear the reports integrate smoothly with your estimating workflow—that consistency was very important to us. Stay tuned, the next update will take that much further. Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience and for being part of the Elevation Pro community!

### "Best Affordable Earthwork Takeoff Software on the Market"

March 4, 2026

5.0

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.

### "Great for Beginners and Pro's!"

February 23, 2026

5.0

Insite Elevation Pro has been a tremendous asset to our estimating team. From simple, quick take-offs to elaborate, multi-phase projects, Insite can handle it.

Pros

Insite Elevation Pro is very easy to learn and use. 3D Live makes it easy to spot any take-off issues. The staff is always on call, ready and willing to help with any questions.

Cons

Insite Elevation Pro is an ever evolving program. Regular updates keep things running smooth and often come with new features. If there's something you don't like, let them know. It might just get incorporated into the next update.

### "Best Bang for the Buck"

February 11, 2026

5.0

Overall my experience has been great for takeoffs and allows me to check for blowouts in my 3d model. We are considering moving to Trimble Business Center, simply because of the Geolocate use with our equipment, but otherwise would stay in a heartbeat, if you don't use Geolocate equipment (at least Trimble), this is hands down the best

Pros

Great value. Ease of use. They seem to be updating it regularly, which is great because it keeps adding features with no cost increase.

Cons

It does lag and/or freeze up occasionally, which could be my laptop. But I sometimes have to hit Control, Alt, Delete, but not end the program. Also, we use Trimble for our GPS equipment, there is no direct export for that type of file, so I cannot use the Geolocate to full advantage.

### "Trainings and Customer Support are Top Notch"

February 24, 2026

5.0

Pros

It's incredibly easy to use. Being able to move your screens and views around if you have multiple monitors makes customizing your workflow to however you want it. The trainings are super informative and having videos embedded in the manual makes it so regardless of your learning style, you can find the answer you're looking for.

Cons

The only thing I can say that I don't like is that I don't have the opportunity to use the program more day-to-day.

### "InSite Elevation Review"

February 25, 2026

4.0

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.

Thank you, Taylor, for taking the time to share such a positive review — we truly appreciate it. 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. You can register by selecting Help &gt; Training within the software. This topic is also covered in Lesson 22 of the User Manual, along with the accompanying video. Thanks again for your feedback — we’re glad to have you as part of the Elevation community!

### "Solid Software for Takeoffs & Tracking"

February 11, 2026

5.0

It’s helped us save time, keep information in one place, and cut down on errors. Anytime we’ve had questions, support has been quick to respond and very helpful. Overall, it’s been a solid investment for us, and I’d definitely recommend it to other contractors.

Pros

We’ve been really happy with Insite Elevation Pro. It’s made our takeoffs and overall workflow a lot more organized and way more efficient. The system is easy to use, so our team was able to get comfortable with it pretty quickly. One of the biggest advantages for us has been the accuracy!

Cons

If I had to pick one least-favorite thing, it would be that some features take a little time to learn at first, but once you get used to them, they work really well.

Response from InSite Software

February 23, 2026

Hi Ana, thank you for taking the time to write this detailed and positive review. One thing we suggest is to make sure you share with your team that the training classes (Help / 3. Training) are available as part of your subscription. Re-taking them after you are more familiar with the software will help you pick up new things. Since they are live, you can ask questions. Again, thank you.

After learning the system, a little more, I enjoy using it for my dirt take offs. The 3D model helps give a visual of what the project will look like then complete.

Pros

Customer Service was very helpful, the videos on their website is very handy to help walk you through the system.

Cons

Not new user friendly. Some plans it doesn't pick up contour lines, so it takes a very long time to do a take-off.

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.

February 24, 2025

This is a great company to work with. If you have any issues, you can call technical support, and they will answer within 3-5 rings. I love that part of it.

Pros

This software is very easy to operate and use. I love all the features it provides. It is the best out there for the money. I would recommend this software to anyone looking to increase the profits of their company. The in-person training course is totally worth it. I think everyone that is using InSite Elevation Pro should attend.

July 19, 2023

5.0

Pros

Simple to use. Accuracy is uncanny. Absolutely love the quick clicks for highlighting contours. It took some getting used to for how simple it was.

Cons

The only con I have encountered so far is having to guess at the alignment rectangle size when scaling multiple pages together without an overall site map. However, I don't think twice about it because I have only come across this scenario once (the plans we were working off of were lazily put together from the engineer).

Joshua, thank you for your review. When we did a ground up rewrite of our software starting in 2018, the goal was to make it as easy and productive as possible. Your comment of "It took some getting used to how simple it was" was shared around the halls of our office. Our team works very hard on that goal. You will be happy to know the clock is ticking on the alignment rectangle. The plan is to have it set by the boundary in a future release.

The team that works there is the best part. They have been supportive and helped out a ton..even stying on the phone for over an hour until I got it,(shout out to \[sensitive content hidden\]) and they rest of the team. So thank you for that..definitely worth the money

Pros

For the most part it’s not too hard to wrap your head around. You can be doing a decent take off in a weeks time.

Cons

It would be nice to be able to highlight the lines you’re working on without the lines jumping all over the place. Going in the never ending list of lines in properties to turn something off is time consuming and annoying. But I need to get a little more familiar with program. That said still drives me nuts.

Response from InSite Software

July 25, 2024

Thank you for taking the time for this positive review. Reach out to the tech team for more, but there are a few resources that will help speed takeoffs. The first is under Help/ 2. Video tutorials/1. Magnetic Endpoint Selection. This video shows the most efficient way to select lines. Once you understand it's design you will appreciate the preselection ("jumping"). As for layer management, selecting a line will identify it's layer under properties. You can filter the layers using the techniques in Lesson 22.04 Finally, if you haven't taken the time to attend all of the classes, they are included in your subscription (Help / 3.

### "Easy to use and excellent product!"

April 10, 2023

5.0

InSite is an excellent product. My company is a General Contractor and we use the system for takeoffs to assist with budgeting and reviewing subcontractors quantities in hard bids. My estimating team and I have utilized both their on site training classes and virtual classes to help us become proficient. Every update has been a step to make this easier and smoother to use.

Pros

3D Elevations are what we utilize most as it helps show our clients their end product. We also love to show clients options for balancing their sites to help add value and savings.

Cons

I miss the sloping lines option that you could click points in a line and make them connecting spot elevations. You kind of still have this option but it's not as easy as it was years ago.

Clayton, thank you for your review. The option to put in sloping lines did change a lot when the lines became more intelligent. The advantage over the old way is that editing the data is so much easier. I'd suggest signing up for Elevation Pro 101 (Select Help/3.Training) or look at Lesson 11. There is also another alternative where the line is put in and the Elevations edited. Lesson 23.06 covers this in detail.

### "Must-Use Software!"

March 7, 2023

5.0

I have had the pleasure of using InSite Elevation Pro and talking with the customer service/ support whenever I have questions about the software. Their support is unlike any other company I have contacted as they are highly trained and experts on their software. I am always able to find a solution within minutes of contacting them. It speaks volumes and shows a company cares about its users when it has a good customer service team.

Pros

The thing that I enjoy the most about InSite Elevation Pro is that it is a constantly evolving software, with new updates rolling out consistently through the year. The node snapping is super useful and saves so much time when tracing gradelines, subgrades, and strip areas.

Cons

The only feature that I feel could be improved is with the subgrades and stripping. If a higher tier subgrade/ strip area overlaps a lower tier subgrade/ strip area, there should not be a blending of the two colors, as it makes it a little confusing. Instead, the higher tier should override like it did in the previous versions.

It changed all my way to do estimates. I hope the development team continues improving the software.

Pros

I like the way the software gives the information, and the reports, because of the list of materials. Digitizing is quite easy with this software, a small child can do it.

Cons

Many times the addition of new planes makes the software a little slow, making the typing equally slow.

### "Great Earthworks Software"

March 5, 2020

5.0

As a specialty contractor, we use this software exclusively for earthworks, and do not use some of the higher-level utility and building functionality. Prior to getting InSite, we used a program that imported earthworks lines by hand with a digitizer. By switching to InSite, we were able to save hours in digital contour selection. Nowadays, most of our clients will give us vector PDF or CAD files, so the earthworks calculations are even faster. I could not imagine going back to digitizing by hand, so I consider this software to be essential for our company.

Pros

Saves tons of time, especially when we can import digital files.

Cons

Not the most updated User Interface, although I understand that is about to be updated with a new software version release. Tying earthworks data into google maps could be a little easier and more intuitive as well.

Reason for choosing InSite Elevation Pro

Best value for what we needed, which was strictly earthworks.

### "InSite for small dirt contractors"

March 4, 2020

5.0

Overall we have been extremely pleased with InSite and have recommended it to at least 2 other contractors we know.

Pros

The functionality and ease of use is by far the best we have seen compared to the other earthwork programs we have used. The program has all of the features we would expect at a price point that fits well in our budget, especially when compared to some of the other 'big name' programs available on the market.

Cons

Our only complaint so far is the stripping reports / cut fill reports do not distinguish between topsoil stripping and demolition items, separating the stripping qtys between topsoil and demo has to be done manually as far as we have found. We do not input boring information, so that may be a way around that. We have not downloaded the latest version yet however and from what I've read several changes and improvements have been made and we are very excited to see what they are.

Reason for choosing InSite Elevation Pro

Price point and functionality were the main factors. We get everything we need plus some out of InSite, at a much more reasonable price.

Response from InSite Software

April 16, 2020

Sean, thank you for your nice review and for promoting InSite SiteWork. To get a breakdown of Stripping/demo areas, when you enter Strip/Demo, itemize the material in the material section. The overall stripping will be one big number, but if you look at the Stripping and Demolition Report, your individual values will be there.

### "Insite Elevation Pro 6 Stars!"

February 24, 2023

5.0

I have had a great experience with InSite Elevation Pro. Leveraging its powerful features to improve project outcomes, while benefiting from its user-friendly interface and customizable design options has been incredible.

Pros

Insite is a powerful tool, It has accurate elevation measurements, an easy to use interface, easily integrates with other software and is very customizable.

Cons

When creating a subgrade, contour, stripping area, site boundary, etc. Not being able to add a point is frustrating. You either have to add another one or delete it and redraw it if you don't have enough points.

Evan, thank you for 6 Stars! About adding points: Take a look at lesson 10.04 Most of the time the spacing tool is used to lesson points, but you can also use it to add points. Another more surgical way to add points is described in 21.02 Intersect - Add Points. We hope this helps!

### "Best Dirtwork Takeoff Software Ever."

March 2, 2021

5.0

There are only two employees in the office to handle all administrative, estimating, and project management duties. It was essential for our company to streamline the takeoff process in order to efficiently and accurately complete estimates in a timely manner. InSite has made this possible for us.

Pros

This software is very intuitive. After learning a few shortcut command keys, my takeoff times have decreased by half from my previous takeoff software. I am impressed with the ability to visualize the data and make adjustments as necessary. The feature that sold me was vector recognition, and especially the ability to trace broken vectors. I use that on every single takeoff.

Cons

I would love the ability to export takeoff quantities right into our airtable database. We have heard of a new, more user-friendly interface that will be available, but we haven't seen it yet.

### "Great, easy to use program with terrific customer service"

December 5, 2022

5.0

Pros

With the latest update, InSite Elevation Pro is definitely the most user friendly earthwork software that I have used in order to generate cut / fill quantities and to generate some other useful images as well. The software allows you to build 3d models with a click of a button, and cut / fill shading schemes which allow for great visual presentations. The plans can also be exported to Google Earth Pro which is also a really useful feature. Training and customer support are also top notch. If there is a question about the software, chances are the answer is right in the user manual with a video to accompany it.

Cons

There are a few features that have not yet been transferred to the newest update of elevation pro (mainly area cut / fill), but from what I have heard, these features, plus more will be coming soon. I do not have many cons with this software.
