5 reasons why professionals in excavation & earthworks are switching to Moasure
Here’s why excavation contractors are talking about Moasure:
1
1
Easily calculate earthwork volumes & site grades
Accurately measure and draw complex excavation areas, site boundaries, or grading plans in minutes with Moasure. Cut-and-fill ratios, cubic yardage, and slope angles are automatically calculated simply by walking the site – no additional math required.
2
Streamline grading & site preparation
Visualise the topography of a site instantly with the free Moasure app. Efficiently plan rough grading, fine grading, or slope stabilisation directly from your device. Whether you're working on embankment construction, site levelling, or trenching, Moasure provides precise and reliable measurements.

Eliminate material overages & shortages
Avoid over-ordering fill material using the Cut & Fill and Add Depth tools. With Moasure, you can precisely determine material takeoffs for soil stabilisation, backfilling, or drainage installations. This reduces waste, improves profitability, and ensures your projects stay on budget.
4
Tackle any terrain with Moasure's versatile features
Moasure's unique ability to measure around obstacles, calculate slope angles, and handle irregular topographies makes it easy to gather accurate measurements. Whether you're preparing building pads, retention ponds, or parking lot grades, Moasure fits effortlessly into your process.

Export drawings into CAD, or as PDFs, CSVs, or images
Seamlessly export your site surveys into your preferred CAD software, or multiple other formats, using the Moasure app. Share detailed site preparation or earthmoving plans with stakeholders, complete with your company’s branding.
Powerful in-app tools for excavation projects
Utilise the Moasure app's powerful suite of tools and features to enhance your earthwork measurements.
Cut & Fill tool
Calculate the volume of material needed to either excavate (cut) or add (fill) to bring a site to the desired level. Set your preferred level and instantly see the volume required for adjustments. The “zero net volume” feature shows the exact level needed to avoid any material movement, making it useful for levelling sites.
Add Depth tool
Designed for estimating material volumes based on specific depths, this tool calculates how much material (like mulch, soil, or aggregate) is needed to cover a given area at a set depth. It’s effective for both flat and sloped sites, helping you avoid overestimating material costs and ensuring precise coverage.
Surface Mesh view
This view generates a 3D surface map based on the measured area’s shape and elevation data, offering an accurate representation of irregular terrain. It’s particularly useful for applications where terrain and elevation variations impact planning, such as excavation and earthworks.
Topography / Contour view
The contour view provides a 3D visualisation of the site’s topography. By capturing elevation points across the terrain, Moasure creates contour lines that show gradients and elevations. This helps you understand site slopes and visualise the entire area, aiding in planning and material requirements.
View in 3D
Moasure captures the elevation of every point and generates a model of your measurement in 3D space. Impress your clients as Moasure instantly and automatically draws your excavation job site for you in real-time.
Organise your files
Save your Moasure files and organise them into folders, all within the app. Ideal for easy reference, simply access your measurements anytime you need them – Moasure’s organised file system streamlines your workflow and ensures quick access to your work.
Add labels & backgrounds
Label points of interest and overlay your measurement on an aerial shot of the area to help clients or colleagues visualise your project.

It can’t be beat
"We are a large excavation company that runs hundreds of thousands of dollars in GPS. With the speed and simplicity of Moasure, it can’t be beat. Being able to topo an entire project site and immediately have results in my hand on volume, square footage, or lengths is absolutely amazing."
Josh Coston

Prepping site for a large fiberglass pool installation
"We use the Moasure tool along with the BOSCH self-levelling laser. We're very happy to have this tool in our tool bag for quick assessment and confidence in our excavation accuracy."

Grade evaluation for a retaining wall and drainage projects
"Very easy to learn, but powerful enough to be very useful for a variety of situations. My hat’s off to all who had a hand in creating this amazing piece of technology. Bravo!"

Verified Review
Levelling building sites and calculating cut/fill quantities
"We use Moasure to level building sites and figure cut/fill quantities for dirt work. We would usually use a laser transit or another technique to gather elevation data. A lot of times, the terrain or size of the project made it difficult to use these methods."

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about Moasure for excavation and earthwork.
Yes, Moasure data can be exported in DXF or DWG formats, which are compatible with many GIS platforms. These exports allow integration of site measurements into larger geographic or mapping datasets. This makes it useful for mapping excavation boundaries, elevation models, and topographical features. However, it does not provide georeferenced data unless combined with other GPS tools.
Unlike other tools on the market, Moasure is designed to operate in rugged environments. Its water-resistant (IP67) design ensures rain is no issue and it can also be dropped from 2m onto concrete. With durability like this, it remains accurate even when measuring across mud, rocks, or uneven ground.
Yes, Moasure is ideal for measuring complex sites such as retention basins, terraced slopes, or stepped foundations. It can capture irregular shapes, elevations, and slopes in a single measurement, simplifying site analysis.
Yes, Moasure is ideal for measuring slopes in drainage ditches and embankments. Its motion-based technology captures elevation changes as you move along the slope, automatically calculating gradients and rise/run data. It works on irregular or curved slopes without requiring line of sight, making it practical for natural terrain or areas with obstacles.
Yes, Moasure is highly accurate and well-suited for large-scale projects. The device measures up to 300m in a single measurement and captures 3D data, including elevation changes and volumes, making it ideal for large excavation projects and volume calculations. Moasure handles irregular shapes without requiring line of sight and exports data to CAD software for design and planning.
Measuring through vegetation or brush is no problem for Moasure as it does not rely on line of sight. It uses motion-based technology, meaning obstacles like shrubs or trees won’t obstruct the measurement. You can simply walk around the objects and Moasure will create a straight line between your start and end points. This makes it effective in natural or overgrown areas.
Yes, Moasure can measure around water features like retention ponds or wetlands. It accurately captures perimeter, area, and elevation data for such sites. However, measurements are limited to dry or semi-dry areas, as Moasure cannot measure fully submerged areas.
