Ahead of time on your plot map you need to decide the various heights that you want to terraform the land to.  Use a self leveling laser and a pole with markers to establish the height of the ground.

Excavation Height Measuring Stick 

You can use paint on the ground to indicate how much ground still needs to be excavated away.
