Civil Tech Services Built for Texas Earthwork Contractors

Eight specialized services. Remote delivery anywhere in the U.S. Field crews across Houston, DFW, Rio Grande Valley and Corpus Christi.

Backed by Stone River Excavation, 11 years Texas earthwork experience

10+ years hands-on BIM, modeling, and layout experience

Trimble, Topcon, Leica and Civil 3D certified

Remote Services

Delivered digitally. Available to contractors anywhere in the United States.

3D Modeling and BIM Services

3D Modeling and BIM Services

We take your CAD drawings, survey data and design files and build a fully accurate 3D terrain model your GPS equipment can run on. Whether you're prepping for machine control or coordinating between subs, your model needs to be right before a single blade touches dirt.

Contractors using GPS-guided machines on BIM-modeled sites see productivity gains of 33 to 40% over conventional layout methods. We build the model that makes that possible.

GPS Grade Control Modeling

GPS Grade Control Modeling

Machine control is only as good as the control file behind it. We produce GPS grade control files formatted for Trimble, Topcon and Leica systems, delivered directly to your equipment. No conversion layer, no translation errors, no calls to a software rep to figure out why the file won't load.

Your operator gets the file. Your machine runs the grade. Your GC gets the accuracy they asked for.

Earthwork Takeoffs

Earthwork Takeoffs

Know your cut and fill quantities before you commit to a number. We calculate earthwork takeoffs from your design plans so you can bid with confidence instead of guessing at your dirt.

A takeoff error at bid stage can cost you the job or cost you money on it. We make sure your numbers reflect what's actually in the ground.

QA/QC Services

QA/QC Services

Your GC needs documentation that proves the work was done right. We produce as-built compliance records, construction quality control packages and surveying documentation formatted to your project's closeout requirements.

First-submission approvals start with accurate QA/QC records. We build the paper trail that gets you there.

Field Services

On-site crews available across Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Rio Grande Valley and Corpus Christi.

Site Staking and Layout

Site Staking and Layout

We take your design plans to the ground. Property lines, building corners, offset stakes, grade stakes. When we're done, your crew has what they need to build from. No ambiguity, no re-staking delays, no disputes at inspection.

Layout done right the first time keeps your schedule and your GC's trust intact.

As-Built Surveys

As-Built Surveys

What you designed and what got built aren't always identical. An as-built survey documents the actual conditions on the ground, GPS-accurate, formatted to your GC's submittal requirements and delivered on your timeline.

We turn around most as-built packages within 48 hours of fieldwork completion. First-submission acceptance is the goal on every project.

Topographic Surveys

Topographic Surveys

Before you move dirt you need to know exactly what you're dealing with. We collect topographic data via drone or ground rover, producing accurate site topo that feeds directly into your earthwork planning and machine control models.

Fast collection. Clean data. Texas-wide coverage.

Anchor Bolt Layout

Anchor Bolt Layout

Pre-engineered metal buildings and structural steel leave no room for error at the foundation. If your anchor bolts are off, your building is off. We deliver millimeter-level layout precision so your steel erector shows up to bolts that are exactly where they need to be.

One bad bolt pattern can cost days of delay and thousands in remediation. We make sure that's not your problem.

Not Sure Which Service You Need?

Tell us what your GC is asking for and we'll point you to the right service. Most contractors come to us with a deliverable requirement, not a service name. That's fine. We speak both.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Have more questions? Call now
Do you offer both remote and in-person services?

Yes. Remote services including 3D modeling, BIM, GPS grade control, earthwork takeoffs and QA/QC are available to contractors anywhere in the United States. Field services including site staking, as-built surveys, topo surveys and anchor bolt layout are available across Houston, DFW, Rio Grande Valley and Corpus Christi.

What file formats and equipment platforms do you support?

We accept AutoCAD (.dwg), PDF plan sheets, LandXML (.xml) and survey point files (.csv, .txt), and we deliver machine control files in Trimble, Topcon and Leica formats. If your format or platform isn't listed, send it over and we'll confirm before you commit.

How quickly can you deliver remote services?

Standard turnaround on most remote deliverables is one to two business days from receiving your complete design files. Rush and same-day delivery are available on most projects — send us your deadline before you order and we'll confirm whether we can meet it.

Can you work with contractors who are new to GPS-guided equipment?

Yes. A large part of what we do is help contractors move from conventional layout to GPS-guided machine control. We build the files, format them for your equipment, and make sure your operator has what they need to run the grade.

What software and equipment platforms do you support?

We work in AutoCAD Civil 3D and deliver to Trimble, Topcon and Leica machine control systems, plus LandXML and standard survey point formats. If you run a platform not listed here, ask first — we very likely support it.
