Business Description
Established underground utility and site work contractor serving the East Texas market since 2009. The company performs clearing and grading, excavation, underground water, sewer, and storm utility installation, horizontal directional boring, and underground fire protection water supply for commercial general contractors, municipalities, and public works clients.

Two credentials separate this business from a general dirt contractor. It holds an active Sprinkler Certificate of Registration – Underground (SCR-U) from the Texas State Fire Marshal's Office, supported by an active Responsible Managing Employee – Underground license — required in Texas to install and certify underground fire mains, fire lead-in lines, and private fire hydrant piping. Most site contractors do not carry this and must subcontract that scope. It also operates its own directional boring rig, another service line commonly bought from outside.

The business transfers with an owned heavy equipment fleet appraised at approximately $2.07 million, trained field crews, signed contract backlog, active USDOT operating authority with a clean 24-month safety record, and seventeen years of established relationships in its market.

Revenue is running at an approximately $7.0 million annualized pace in 2026 against $5.1 million in 2025, on essentially flat payroll — the improvement reflects existing crews and overhead absorbing materially more work rather than any reduction in cost.

A directional boring rig added in 2025 provides a service line many regional earthwork contractors subcontract out.

Earnings have varied meaningfully across the last four years for identifiable reasons, and a complete four-year add-back and recast schedule with year-by-year explanation is provided to qualified buyers under NDA. The seller and broker are prepared to walk any serious buyer through it.

Competitive Advantages: State Fire Marshal underground fire main registration — a licensed capability with an examination barrier that most site contractors subcontract out. In-house directional boring. Seventeen years of continuous operation in one market. Owned and appraised equipment fleet representing capability and capacity that take years and significant capital to assemble. Trained crews with tenure. Clean federal motor carrier safety record. Signed backlog transferring at close.

Financing: The appraised equipment base supports acquisition lending.

Opportunities for Growth
Growth Opportunities: Demonstrated capacity to absorb additional volume on the existing crew and overhead base. Directional boring and underground fire main work are both underutilized relative to regional demand and both carry better margin than general dirt work. The business has never had a website or any marketing infrastructure — it has grown entirely on relationships, leaving an untouched channel. A strategic acquirer with existing back office, estimating, and management can eliminate duplicated overhead at close.
