ProfitDig

What Is ProfitDig?

ProfitDig is a bidding and job costing platform for excavation, grading, and underground utility contractors who want to know their margin before a job starts, not after it ends. Estimators price work by the cubic yard, linear foot, or ton, pulling saved costs and material groups into each bid while overhead, profit, tax, and bond are calculated along the way. On awarded jobs, foremen log hours, equipment time, and expenses from a phone, tablet, or laptop, and each entry is measured against the bid’s line items. That gives owners a running view of which parts of a job are on budget and which are slipping, while there is still time to adjust. A daily diary covers the field record, with locked, crew-signed site reports that can be exported as PDFs.

What Is ProfitDig Best For?

ProfitDig is best for its bid items and headers feature, which holds a master database of erosion control, grading, and underground utility items. Users can create and sort their bid items and headers in the database. For each new bid, they can search the database and add items. As a result, they can keep the same bid language on each bid. Users type fewer bid items by hand on each new bid.

ProfitDig Use Cases

Based on our evaluation of ProfitDig's features and market positioning, we have determined common ways that excavation, grading, underground utility, and sitework contractors use the platform to price bids, measure plans, and track job costs:

Excavation Contractors Setting Bid Prices Without Full Costs

Excavation contractors must set a bid price before work on the site starts. To set that price, they need the full cost of the job. ProfitDig shows the cost of equipment, labor, and materials in each line item. The software also adds overhead, profit, and tax to each line item. Excavation contractors base each bid price on the full cost of the work.

Grading Contractors Finding Losses After Jobs End

Grading contractors often learn about a loss only after the job ends. During the job, foremen log hours, equipment time, and expenses in ProfitDig from the field. The software updates the job costs with each new entry. With the costs up to date, contractors check each line item against its budget. As a result, they see costs that go over the budget before the job ends.

Underground Utility Contractors Needing Pipe Lengths Before Bidding

Underground utility contractors need the length of every pipe run before they price a bid. ProfitDig lets them draw a line along each pipe and conduit run on the plan PDF. The software calculates the length of each line. Contractors export these lengths to the bid. In the bid, they add a material group, such as a sanitary sewer line, to each pipe line item. The bid lists a length and a set of materials for each pipe run.

Sitework Contractors Facing Crew Changes Mid-Job

On sitework jobs, crew rosters can change during the work. For each change, ProfitDig lets contractors replace the employees and machines on a crew. Contractors also name any crew member as the acting foreman, even if that person has another job title. ProfitDig adds each crew change to the job cost report. The report shows the cost of the crew on site each day.

Is ProfitDig Right For You?

ProfitDig is a good fit for sitework firms that want bid and job cost tools built for their trade. Most contractors are able to build their first full bid on the day they start. Their teams have the option to bid and track any number of active projects at the same time. They can open each project in any web browser on a phone, tablet, or laptop. The company released version 3.5 of the web app in June 2026 and has added new tools since.

In construction, material prices often change between bid day and the start of work. Firms are able to keep their current material prices in a saved cost list. As a result, estimators have a way to start each new bid with current prices. Site firms such as DG Construction Inc. and TriStar Site Development Co., LLC use ProfitDig for their bids and daily workflows.
