Hi Product Hunt!
I'm Brad, a data engineer by trade, and my brother Shawn
built Mason Excavating from the ground up with 35+ years
of excavation and site work experience.
I watched him run jobs where everything looked fine on
paper until closeout. One demolition job turned into a
significant loss with no real-time visibility to catch it
before it was too late.
That's why I built GroundMargin. I brought the data
engineering, Shawn brought the industry knowledge. The
result is job costing software that actually speaks
contractor. It understands mobilization, cut yardage, and
soil classification instead of generic accounting buckets.
QuickBooks tells you what happened. GroundMargin tells
you what's happening.
The AI estimator is live right now at groundmargin.com.
Type any excavation, demolition, or site work job in
plain English and get a full cost breakdown in seconds.
No login, no credit card.
Happy to answer any questions whether you're in
construction tech or just curious how AI estimates a
demolition job. Would love your feedback.
Thanks,
Brad
