About Earthwork Software Services
Earthwork Software Services, LLC provides expert independent training for earthwork
modeling and quantity takeoff software produced by AGTEK Development Company of Livermore,
California (Earthwork Software Services is a separate, independent entity which has
no direct corporate affiliation with AGTEK Development Company). Our small-group
classroom training seminars apply to users of AGTEK's current
AGTEK 4D (Sitework
4D/Gradework 4D) products, but much of the content still applies to users of AGTEK's
discontinued AGTEK 3D
products. We have been providing AGTEK training services since 1998 and we remain
the only independent source of AGTEK software training that is authorized and
endorsed by AGTEK. Feel free to verify our training authorization by asking your
local AGTEK representative or by calling AGTEK's corporate office at (925) 606-8197.
The Need for Our Services
A competitive bidding environment, tight profit margins, ever-present time constraints,
employee promotions and turnover, and continuous improvements in AGTEK's software
all increase the likelihood that your business is not realizing the full potential of
your investment in AGTEK software. Put simply, most AGTEK users are under-trained.
At best, under-trained users waste valuable time on every earthwork takeoff or GPS grading
model; at worst, under-trained users unknowingly make mistakes that can lose a job (or
much of a job's anticipated profit). Unless they have spare time for "trial
and error" experimentation, even previously trained AGTEK users will be unaware
of (and unable to benefit from) new and improved features and functions that are added
to AGTEK's software over time. Productive AGTEK users minimize these risks
by getting regular, up-to-date professional training . . . which is just what our services
provide. To read what some of our students have to say about our training services,

AGTEK Training Services We Provide
Regional Seminars: Our primary focus is on producing our popular public
Regional
Seminars which are available in various cities throughout North America. These
regularly scheduled public seminars provide detailed, well-structured training in the
use of AGTEK's Earthwork 3D, SitePlan 3D, SiteModel 3D, and Sitework 4D software
products. Due to the time demands of producing, updating, scheduling and delivering
our public regional seminars, our seminar instructor is not available for private "in
house" training sessions.
