I've used paydirt and I really like it. It's easy to use. I'm not sure of the pricing though.

I'm an EIT and so far the most confusing part of the job is the site grading. When I see my boss do the grading, it appears to be the easiest thing in the world but when I'm looking at it, I just can't see it. Are there any quick references I use for Max/Min slops, preferred, ect when it comes...
