Lone Star Layouts provides eight specialized services, from remote 3D BIM modeling and GPS grade control files to in-person site staking, as-built surveys, and anchor bolt layout across Texas. You get the technical deliverables your projects require, the field presence your jobs demand, and a team that speaks contractor, not software vendor.
We're backed by Stone River Excavation, an established 11-year Texas earthwork company. That means we know how a jobsite actually runs, and we know what a GC actually needs to sign off.
Whether you need a 3D model delivered overnight or a crew on your site before first pour, Lone Star has the service for it.
Delivered digitally, anywhere in the U.S.
We take your CAD files and survey data and build the 3D model your GPS equipment needs to run. Earthwork contractors see productivity increases of 33-40% on GPS-guided sites versus conventional layout.
Learn moreWe produce the machine control files your dozers, graders and scrapers run directly. Trimble, Topcon and Leica format. No translation layer, no guesswork.

GPS Grade Control and 3D Modeling
A Houston-area earthwork contractor was given a Civil 3D surface model from the GC and needed a machine control file package built and delivered before mobilization. Lone Star built the 3D terrain model, formatted it for the contractor's Trimble system and delivered it within one business day of receiving the design files.
Anchor Bolt Layout and As-Built Survey
A DFW earthwork contractor needed rover-based anchor bolt layout on a pre-engineered metal building foundation with a tight pour schedule and a steel erector arriving the following week. Lone Star completed the pre-pour layout, flagged one alignment discrepancy before concrete was placed and returned for the post-pour verification survey within 48 hours of the pour.
Our remote services go where the project is. Our field crews cover the major earthwork corridors across Texas.
Lone Star offers eight services across two delivery modes: remote digital services including 3D modeling, BIM, GPS grade control, earthwork takeoffs and QA/QC, and in-person field services including site staking, as-built surveys, topo surveys and anchor bolt layout.
Yes. Most of our clients are small and mid-size earthwork contractors who need technical deliverables without carrying a full-time modeling or survey department. There's no minimum order — call us with a single pad site or a multi-phase job.
Standard turnaround on most remote deliverables is one to two business days from receiving your complete design files. Rush delivery is available on most projects — contact us with your deadline before you order and we'll confirm whether we can meet it. Same-day delivery is available when files are received before noon on most standard projects.
Our remote services — 3D modeling, GPS grade control, earthwork takeoffs and QA/QC — are available anywhere in the U.S. Our in-person field services are focused on the major earthwork corridors across Texas.
We deliver machine control files in Trimble, Topcon and Leica formats and work from AutoCAD (.dwg), PDF plans, LandXML and survey point files. If your platform or format isn't listed, send it over and we'll confirm before you commit.
