Built for drilled shafts. Tailored to your shop.
The connected OS for foundation drilling.
One system for the whole job: take off the bid, de-risk the contract, run the field, and let a Business Brain tie it together. Built on drilled shafts, shaped to how your shop actually works, so every job makes the next bid sharper.
We tailor it to your shop on the call. $300 free if you start on your own, no card required.
The 30-second tour
Built for drilled shafts. Tailored to your shop.
Groundwork started with drilled piers and rock sockets, the hardest takeoff in the ground. But your shop is not a template. Share a few past jobs and your workspace arrives pre-tuned to the way you already work.
Your sheet, your voice
It fills your own Excel bid sheet with the formulas intact and drafts proposals in your wording, not a generic format. You set the prices, it never guesses for you.
Your rules, your rock
It reviews contracts against your non-negotiables and the law in your state, and predicts rock from the geotech library you build, so it sharpens with every job.
Your business model
Drilled shafts today. CFA, micropiles, helical, and underpinning in beta. Share your last jobs and we shape the takeoff, the sheet, and the workflow to your trade.
Not seven tools. One connected system.
Every product feeds the next, and all of them feed one Business Brain that runs your shop. And the bids themselves get sharper: every geotech you load joins your library, so a job with no report of its own already knows the likely rock, and it learns your estimator’s corrections, so the same miss never survives two bids.

Each product in under thirty seconds.
Bids
Upload the structural set, Groundwork counts every drilled pier, fills your own Excel bid sheet with the formulas intact, and drafts the proposal in your voice. Drawings → takeoff → bid sheet → proposal.
Contract review
Upload a subcontract for a clause-by-clause risk report, pay-if-paid, retainage, indemnity, rock and differing-site-conditions gaps, each flag cited to your state's law, plus a redline rider.
Cross-check
Reconcile the contract against the bid you priced: does what you'd sign match what you quoted? The whitespace no estimating-only or GC-side tool covers.
Geotech
Boring logs become a clean rock profile, and a library that predicts rock for the next job from nearby borings. It gets smarter every job.
Business Brain
Your whole pipeline read together, change-order money owed, jobs with no reviewed contract, bids slipping, and the sharpest move to make next.
Opportunities
Forward a bid invite and it lands parsed, GC, due date, location, drawings and contract staged, ready to launch a takeoff in one click. Free.
Daily reports
Forward the day's rig sheet, or drop a photo of the handwritten field log, Groundwork reads it into clean as-drilled production, equipment hours, and shaft data that feed the Business Brain and Schedule.
Portfolio
Every reviewed contract's money terms in one table, retainage, pay-if-paid, bond and COI, flagging the jobs that need more bonding or insurance than your company carries on file.
Schedule
A forward map of every rig and crew, what each is committed to and the exact date it frees up. Built in one click from the rigs your daily reports already named.
Newest in Groundwork
The latest ways it works harder for your shop.
Geotech library
Bulk-import years of geotech reports. Each one is read, geocoded, and pinned to a map, so when a new bid has no report of its own, Groundwork predicts the rock from the nearest borings you have already loaded. It compounds with every job.
Adaptation
Built for drilled shafts, tailored to you. Share your last twenty jobs through a private, company-email link and your workspace arrives pre-tuned: your bid sheet, your proposal voice, your rock library, your reference contracts.
Every foundation type
The same geometry-first takeoff now reads CFA, micropiles, helical piles, and underpinning. In beta while we validate on real jobs, and free until it earns your trust.
Built to be trusted on bid day
No vanity logos. Built for the way your shop actually bids.
Foundation-drilling native
Drilled piers, rock sockets, geotech reconciliation, and 50-state subcontract law. Not a generic takeoff tool with a foundation skin.
Your sheet, your voice
It fills your own Excel bid sheet with the formulas intact and drafts proposals in your wording. You set the prices, it never guesses for you.
Gets smarter every job
Every geotech you load joins your library, so a bid with no report of its own already knows the likely rock. The same miss never survives two bids.
How it works
Teach it your company once
Your trade and foundation types, states, insurance, non-negotiables, a bid sheet per type, and a few past jobs so it tailors to your shop. About ten minutes.
Upload the documents
A subcontract for review, or a drawing set and geotech report for a takeoff. Walk away; it notifies you when it's done.
Send what comes back
A cited risk report and redline rider, or a verified pier table, filled bid sheet, and proposal draft ready for your numbers.

Start freeHow it works
Load funds
Add funds in any amount and they never expire. The bids, reviews, and cross-checks are pay-as-you-go — no subscription. (The optional Intelligence suite is a flat monthly add-on you can cancel anytime.)
Spend as you go
A review is $99, a cross-check $39, and a bid is a flat $129 ($249 over 200 piers), deducted only when it runs and refunded if it fails.
Auto-reload (optional)
Set it to top up automatically when the balance gets low, so a bid is never blocked mid-deadline.
Your documents stay yours
You're uploading subcontracts and structural drawings. Here's exactly how they're handled, no fine print.
Used only for your results
Your files produce your takeoffs and reviews, nothing else. They are never used to train AI models, and are never shared outside the vetted providers that run Groundwork.
Isolated per workspace
Every document, bid, and contract is scoped to your company. No other workspace can ever see your data.
Encrypted on Google Cloud
Stored on Google Cloud (Firebase) infrastructure, encrypted in transit and at rest.
You control access
Only people you invite can reach your workspace. The owner sets roles and can remove members or delete any run.
See it run on your own jobs.
