Machine Control Modeling

Your Surveyor and Your Model Builder

Steubing LLC builds 3D machine control models in house for utility, earthwork, and excavation contractors across Central Texas. We work from your civil plan set, CAD files, or PDFs and deliver a model that matches the design intent and is ready to load on your equipment.

Most projects use one company to build the model and a separate surveyor to calibrate and verify it on site. We do both. That means fewer discrepancies between the design and the field, and less time waiting on deliverables.

Why One Firm Makes the Difference

Model and Site Control Under One Roof

When the model builder and the surveyor are two different companies, problems fall in the gap between them. We build the model, set the site control, and verify it in the field, so there is one team accountable for the whole thing.

Licensed Surveyors, Not Just Model Builders

Equipment dealers and model shops can build a surface, but they cannot set or verify site control. Our licensed surveyors handle on site calibration and third party verification in house.

TxDOT Certified

Steubing LLC is TxDOT certified, so prime contractors on corridor and highway work can bring us in without adding another approval to the list.

Real Construction Staking Experience

Our team has staked commercial, residential, corridor, highway, and bridge projects. We know what the field needs from a model because we are the ones out there checking it.

I used Steubing in 2023. My elderly father, who lives in San Antonio, received a call Tuesday that a tree had fell onto the neighbor's shed due to a storm. I just happened to be here visiting from Georgia. We went down on Wednesday to see the damages, but we could not see any of the stakes showing property lines. I contacted Steubing, and asked if it was anyway possible that they could come and relay the stakes because I was leaving back for Georgia, this Saturday. I didn't want my elderly father to have to worry about this issue being that he's in another city. Well let me tell you they delivered and I thank God! I cannot think of the young lady's name but she was professional and said they're in your area tomorrow and they can relay the stakes . Im thankful for a company that helps in a short notice. Its not always like this and I understand some can't but I just want to again say thans to Steubing LLC for their compassion and assisting me. Great customer service. I pray blessings upon the company and their families. I definitely recommend!

My experience with Steubing LLC was excellent from start to finish! I initially didn't have much knowledge about the survey process or the specifics of our property, but their team took the time to explain everything clearly and patiently. Brynda was especially responsive and always provided helpful, easy-to-understand information. The two gentlemen who came out to conduct the survey were very professional, knowledgeable, and courteous throughout the entire process. I truly appreciate the level of care and communication they provided and highly recommend Steubing to anyone needing a survey. They'll take great care of you!

Through this entire rollercoaster steubing and their workers have made this process so much easier. They always have an answer and have given us a lot of ease and peace during this process. Recommend going through them for your survey needs as they have been really professional and on it.
