Doucet & Associates

What Doucet & Associates does

Doucet & Associates, Inc. is a Texas-anchored civil engineering and consulting firm founded in 1993 by Amy Doucet and John D. Doucet. The company delivers a full-spectrum service portfolio organized around eight divisions — Land Development, Public Works, Water Resources, Transportation, Geospatial, Environmental, Construction Management Services, and Energy — plus an Entitlements offering. Underlying technical capabilities center on civil engineering design software, GIS platforms, and modern surveying and mapping technologies including aerial mapping, airborne LiDAR, mobile LiDAR, terrestrial laser scanning, and ALTA land title surveys. The firm holds 25+ licensed professionals (PEs and RPLS) and operates from six Texas offices (Austin South, Austin North, Dallas/Irving, Houston, San Antonio, Gonzales) to serve municipal, education, healthcare, retail, and energy clients.

The business model is professional services, project-based, and quote-driven: revenue is generated through consulting fees tied to the scope and complexity of each engagement, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting municipalities, school districts, developers, and commercial clients, supported by a relationship-driven approach that has produced a 35% repeat-client rate and 2,000+ clients served over a 10-year period. Notable multi-site enterprise programs include 80+ Chili's Bar & Grill sites across Texas, California, Nevada, Oklahoma, and Rhode Island for Brinker International, repeated H.E.B. grocery engagements, and multi-campus work for Austin ISD and St. Edward's University. In June 2023, Doucet was acquired by Kleinfelder, a multinational engineering, design, construction management, and environmental services firm; Doucet continues to operate under its brand name and website (doucetengineers.com) as a Kleinfelder subsidiary, with the parent company's careers portal now hosting Doucet-related hiring.
