The excavation ticket management challenge

Excavation work doesn't start until the site is cleared, and knowing when that is shouldn't be hard

For excavation and sitework contractors, 811 ticket status is one of the most operationally important pieces of information on any given job day. A crew that arrives before positive response is confirmed is either idle or at risk. A ticket that expires mid-project creates a shutdown. A foreman who can't confirm job status without calling the office adds unnecessary friction to every morning.

Most excavation contractors manage this through a combination of email, phone, and memory, and it works until it doesn't. Quick811 replaces that process with a simple, organized dashboard that shows every active ticket, its current status, and when it expires, so project managers, foremen, and office staff all have the same current picture of what is ready to dig.

Clear-to-dig status is critical

Every excavation job starts with a question: is this site actually cleared? Quick811 answers it instantly

Positive response before breaking ground

State law requires positive response from every affected utility before excavation begins

Multiple jobs, multiple tickets

Excavation and sitework contractors often run several active jobs with overlapping ticket timelines

GC documentation requirements

General contractors increasingly require documentation of 811 compliance from subs

How Quick811 helps

Built for how Excavation & Sitework Contractors contractors actually work

Not adapted from a generic project management tool. Purpose-built for contractors who track 811 tickets as part of every job day.

Tickets Organized by Job Site

Manage every 811 ticket from request through confirmed dig clearance, organized by job site. Project managers and foremen know immediately where each job stands, without hunting through email or calling the office to ask.

Clear-to-Dig Visibility

Quick811 makes it simple to see which jobs have full positive response confirmed and which are still waiting on utility owners. No crew moves dirt before the site is properly cleared, and that status is always visible to whoever needs it.

Expiration Alerts

Excavation jobs with phased work or delayed starts are especially vulnerable to ticket lapses. Quick811 tracks expiration dates across every active job and flags tickets before they expire, so you're never caught with an expired ticket on an active site.

Office and Field in Sync

Project managers, dispatchers, and field foremen all see the same ticket status. No more morning calls to confirm if the site is cleared. Everyone starts the day from the same current picture of every active job.

Common questions

Excavation & Sitework Contractors and 811 ticket management, answered

Everything Excavation & Sitework Contractors contractors ask about 811, positive response, and how Quick811 fits into the workflow.

811 is the national call-before-you-dig system. Before any excavation, trenching, or ground disturbance, contractors are required by law to contact their state's one-call notification center by dialing 811. The center notifies utility owners, who must locate and mark their underground infrastructure before work begins. Positive response, the confirmation from each utility owner, must be verified before excavation can legally start. Quick811 helps excavation contractors track tickets and positive response status across all active jobs.
