A Voice-to-Estimate App for Walks Measured in Paces and Loads

Excavation site walks are physical: pacing the dig, eyeballing the slope, checking the gate width against the trailer, kicking the soil to guess its swell. Nobody types mid-walk with muddy gloves — so the numbers ride home in your head and lose fidelity every mile. Narrating the walk captures them at full strength.

Talk in machine language

"Pool dig, roughly one-forty bank yards, sandy clay — call it twenty percent swell, fifteen loads; gate's ten feet, the 85 fits; two days machine, locates ordered; spoils hauled, dump's twenty minutes; restoration rough grade only — photo of the fence corner we'll need to pull." FieldSquire turns the walk into mobilization, machine, trucking, and restoration lines at your saved rates, with the fence photo attached to its line.

Gloves stay on

Bluetooth earbuds or Ray-Ban Meta glasses (standard Bluetooth audio — not a direct Meta integration) keep the phone in the cab while you walk. Pause and resume by voice; audio cues confirm state over the diesel.

The draft respects the iron

Machine rates are the most personal numbers in this trade — built from your payments, your fuel, your real utilization. Correct a drafted rate once and it's your private price on every future line. Review everything before sending; nothing reaches the customer unverified.

Tailgate close

Branded PDF, terms with your rock and weather clauses, deposit, e-signature — from the site, while the customer's urgency is real. The excavation estimating app is free for 14 days, no credit card; one walk is the test.
