Core offering

AGTEK Development sells modular construction takeoff, earthwork modeling, and production tracking software for heavy civil construction contractors. Its core Gradework desktop application enables earthwork cut-and-fill takeoff and generates GPS machine control models, extended by Materials, Underground, Highway, and Trackwork modules, the AI-powered Reveal suite (Clean, Maps, Transform), and the SmartPlan, SmartDirt, and SmartTrack mobile apps, with revenue also generated from instructor-led training services and resold DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise drones.

Product overview

AGTEK Development offers a modular construction takeoff and earthwork management platform built around its core Gradework desktop application, which serves as the central hub for sitework takeoff, 3D modeling, and GPS machine control. The platform is organized into three layers: Desktop solutions (Gradework as the primary engine, with add-on modules including Materials for material quantity takeoff, Underground for utility and trench modeling, and Highway for linear road and corridor projects), AI-powered Reveal tools (Reveal Clean for AI-assisted point cloud editing, Reveal Maps for AI-driven photogrammetry from RTK drones, and Reveal Transform for AI-powered reconstruction of PDF plan sheets), and Field Productivity tools (Trackwork for cloud-connected production management and three mobile apps — SmartPlan for geo-referenced site navigation and takeoff, SmartDirt for 3D earthwork visualization on mobile devices, and SmartTrack for real-time equipment tracking from 4D sensors). AGTEK recommends the Mavic 3 Enterprise drone with RTK capabilities for site data capture. All desktop and mobile components are connected via cloud-enabled licensing and data synchronization, enabling a workflow from preconstruction takeoff through modeling, production tracking, and field execution. AGTEK is a brand of Hexagon and part of its Geosystems division.
