Spoil Count

Filling a plot, digging a basement, clearing a heap: the job always comes down to the same question, how many loads? Guess low and the site waits for one more truck. Guess high and the extra is tipped where nobody wants it. Spoil Count works it out from the site itself. Describe the site as one or more simple parts: a plot to fill or cut, with the depth at each corner; a trench with sloping sides; a square or round pit; a cone-shaped or long heap. Measure in metres or feet. Choose the material and its factor, the extra loose volume it takes once dug, or the packing down of sand laid as fill. The app gives the volume in place, the loose volume to haul, and the number of loads for each of your vehicles, including how full the last one will be. On the site, tap one big button each time a load comes in. The count goes down, a strip of boxes fills up, and every load is listed with its time. Switch vehicles and the remaining count is worked out again. Undo the last load if it was tapped by mistake. When the job is done, mark it finished. Spoil Count compares what was actually hauled with the volume in place and shows the factor the material really took, next to the one you planned with. Over time each material collects its own track record, so the next estimate starts from what your sites really needed. Spoil Count is a quantity estimate. It is not a survey, an engineering design or advice on excavation safety. It holds no prices, needs no account, and keeps everything on your phone.
