Bulk earthworks lot tracking on a live map

ForgeLot turns cut and fill packages into a visual lot register: area-based lots, layer-by-layer progress from topsoil strip to finished surface, and exports that match how your superintendent wants to see it.

Why bulk earthworks

A spreadsheet can't show you what's actually been built

Cut and fill packages need a clear picture of what is stripped, recompacted and ready for the next lift. ForgeLot keeps that picture live for the whole team.

Area lots for wide work fronts

Bulk earthworks rarely follows a neat corridor. Draw your own map reference without a DXF, then map area lots or generate them from chainage and offsets. Imported DXF snapping remains available.

Every lift tracked separately

Topsoil strip, foundation rip and recompact, and each fill lift sit on the same footprint with their own status, so a signed-off layer is never confused with the one above it.

Inspection and testing status at a glance

See which work areas are untested, meet their entered criteria or need attention. Keep test outcomes and authorised release decisions separate for every lift.

Areas and quantities calculated for you

Lot areas are computed from the drawn geometry, so progress claims and quantity summaries come off the same source of truth as the map.

Records for superintendent review

Export a CSV register and printable QA pack with layers, depths, areas, recorded results and original reports for handover.

Built for pace on site

Earthmoving crews move faster than a spreadsheet. Forge lots ahead of the work and update them from the field as each area is completed.

Layer sequence

From topsoil strip to finished surface

Each layer carries its own status and history on the same lot footprint, so progress is never overstated.

Layer 1

Topsoil strip

Record the stripped extent as it happens so nobody re-strips ground or loses track of stockpile sources.

Layer 2

Foundation rip & recompact

Capture proof roll, moisture conditioning and compaction results against the exact area they cover.

Layer 3

Fill lifts

Each lift is its own layer on the same lot, giving a complete vertical history of how the pad was built.

Layer 4

Trim & finished surface

Close out the pad with survey conformance and status, ready for pavement, slab or structure crews.

The workflow

From site boundary to live lot register

Import a checked drawing, identify each work front and build the layer records as the job progresses.

  1. 1

    Import the design

    Draw a control line directly on the site map, or upload a DXF and confirm its survey coordinate system. Map-drawn extents are approximate and should be checked on site.

  2. 2

    Forge the work areas

    Draw area lots over each pad or work front, or generate corridor lots from chainage and offset.

  3. 3

    Track and export

    Update layers and status as lifts are completed, then export the register for claims and handover.

No DXF needed. Draw your control line on the map, create work lots and keep every layer, test and report together.
