Volume calculation to determine accurate earthwork quantity in engineering construction work is important to estimate and evaluate project cost. Land surveyors always have precaution when they calculate the earthwork volume to ensure all information in the form of number or graphics given to their clients is accurate. Various methods and software were introduced to calculate the cut and fill values from the earthworks. Typically, survey work related to earthworks will use CDS software to calculate and determine the volume. In general, the contractors have agreed that earthwork volume calculation using CDS software is the most reliable However, dispute in volume calculation among land surveyors, engineers, and quantity surveyors remain. Hence this study are to study the method using CX and STS and to compare the effect of 5m, 10m and 20m chainage interval measurement. The methodology involved the comparison of earthwork volume calculations performed by cross -sectional and surface to surface method in which three sites of different acreage were used. The results showed that there were large differences occurring at small sites compared to large study sites between the use of cross-section and surface to surface methods using different chainage intervals. Found at 5 meter intervals a relatively large difference value will occur compared to the volume count at 20 meter intervals. The difference is more significant in the value of the 'cut' volume compared to the value of the 'fill' volume.
