Aguirre & Fields, LP

What Aguirre & Fields, LP does

Aguirre & Fields, LP is a privately held, employee-owned civil engineering firm headquartered in Sugar Land, Texas, founded in 1999 by Oscar R. Aguirre, P.E. The firm delivers transportation engineering, construction engineering inspection (CEI), water resources, and strategic planning services from four offices in Texas (Sugar Land/Houston, Austin, Fort Worth) and Oklahoma City. Its customer base is entirely public-sector, spanning state transportation departments (notably TxDOT and ODOT), county agencies (Harris County Flood Control District, Travis County), municipalities (City of Houston, City of Arlington, City of Round Rock, City of Fort Worth), and regional mobility authorities (CTRMA). Engagements are procured through competitive public-sector bidding and qualifications-based selections, with revenue generated on a per-project fee basis.

The firm operates an integrated design-and-inspection model supported by 3D BIM modeling with clash detection (documented identification of 30 pre-construction design conflicts on I-30/SH 360), Bentley ContextCapture drone-based reality capture, augmented-reality design presentation for public meetings, GIS analysis, and Headlight's photo-driven inspection technology integrated in 2020. Core service lines span highway, roadway, and bridge design; CEI; water resources including detention ponds, channel modifications, and flood-control infrastructure; and Planning & Program Management for growing municipalities. CADD services are offered as a support function across all offices.

Aguirre & Fields is internally held and operated through an Associates Program introduced in October 2019, with three successive waves of new associates (November 2019, November 2020, November 2021) admitted to partial ownership and future partner status. Governance is led by CEO Oscar R. Aguirre, P.E., President David J. Lubitz, P.E., and a four-person C-suite (CFO Chris Crosby, CPO April Hurley, CTO Roger Lee, CMO Mark D. Gribble) with service-line directors across Transportation, Construction Services, Planning & Program Management, and Water Resources. Marketing is conducted via organic channels (LinkedIn, Instagram, website/blog), industry-event sponsorships (ASCE, ACEC Texas, IAI), and structured campus recruiting across Texas and Oklahoma.
