Measure acreage on the plan, price clearing, grubbing, mulching, and haul-off from your equipment and crew rates, and send a proposal while the lead is still hot.
01
Land clearing estimating software measures the clearing limits on a plan or from the field and prices cutting, grubbing, mulching or chipping, stump removal, and haul-off with equipment and crew rates. KonBid gives clearing contractors area takeoff, reusable assemblies, crew production rates, and branded proposals in one tool.
Clearing is priced by the acre, but the cost lives in machine hours, trucking, and disposal. KonBid ties the acreage you measure to the equipment and crews that do the work, so the number reflects how your operation actually runs.
02
Upload the site plan, calibrate the scale, and measure clearing limits as areas, split by phase or clearing type. KonBid sends each area to the estimate, where your clearing assemblies price it. No drawing? Enter field measurements as a manual takeoff and price it exactly the same way.
See the construction takeoff software toolkit.
03
Build clearing assemblies with your forestry mulcher, excavator, skid steer, chipper, trucks, and crew at the production rate you hit per acre. Apply them to measured acreage and KonBid calculates duration and cost, then applies markups by category so every clearing bid covers your equipment.
Add disposal fees and haul-off to the assembly so trucking is never forgotten. See how it works in the construction estimating software, or read how to price excavation work for the earthwork that usually follows.
04
Generate a branded PDF proposal from the clearing estimate, track it in your pipeline, and build change orders when the owner expands the clearing limits or adds stump grinding. Revision history keeps approved changes documented and ready for the owner to sign.
Templates make residential lot clearing and commercial site clearing bids repeatable.

This short walkthrough shows the same workflow land clearing contractors use every day in KonBid: upload plans, measure quantities, and send them to a live estimate that prices from your own cost database. Watch it, then try the same steps on your own job with the free trial.
Walk through the KonBid estimates workspace and how bids are structured with line items, assemblies, crews, and markups. More walkthroughs live in KonBid Guides.
