Nunleyinc,
The Construction Estimating Institute offers a "home study" course (ideal if you have a 3-year-old in your lap) for civil plan reading at this link: http://www.estimating.org/components.php?id=35&course=14.
This is not an endorsement ... I've never taken any of their courses and I...
I enjoy reading many of the threads in this earthwork/grading forum but I've only seen a handful of AGTEK software related questions posted here over the years. I do jump into the AGTEK conversation whenever I've got something constructive to add, but my impression is that there are not all...
AGTEK's earthwork takeoff and modeling software has been popular with earthmoving contractors for more than 30 years. The latest AGTEK products are powerful and sophisticated but not terribly hard to learn. AGTEK does have "Cadillac" pricing but you can buy just the modules you actually need...

A quick FYI regarding this interesting thread:
A list of active earthwork quantity takeoff and/or GPS grade modeling service providers is posted at http://www.EarthworkSoftwareServices.com/models.htm. The listed service providers all use various versions of AGTEK software and they may be a...
