What Five-G Consulting, Inc. does

Five-G Consulting, Inc. is a privately held, founder-owned dairy farm engineering and design firm founded in 1963 and headquartered in Texas. The firm provides custom dairy facility planning, engineering, and construction administration services for dairy operations ranging from 100 to 12,000+ cows, with documented project work across more than 35 countries spanning the Middle East, Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. Its core deliverable is a "total systems approach" in which site selection, master planning, engineered construction plans, waste management, ventilation, parlor design, and operations planning are integrated into a single custom package. A flagship product is the Preliminary Engineering Design Study (PEDS), a 60+ page engineering design package including site visits, master plan blueprints, and 10-14 full-size drawings used as a Master Plan for multi-year dairy development.

The company's service portfolio is anchored by Planning & Engineering and supplemented by three specialized offerings: Robotic Milking system design (including annual seminars), International Experts for cross-climate facility development, and a Construction Verification Service for agribusiness loan/project inspections delivered through ConstructionVerify.com. Revenue is generated through professional services on a project basis, with payment structured as time-and-expense, fixed fee, or percentage of overall construction cost, depending on client preference. Go-to-market is sales-led, direct engagement negotiated with dairy owners, corporate operators, educational institutions, and government agencies. The firm employs approximately 14 staff, including registered engineers (Ted A. Gribble and Donald L. Gribble as principals), CAD designers, project managers, and on-site construction supervisors, with international logistics support staff based in Asia and the Middle East.

Five-G's competitive position rests on decades of accumulated domain knowledge, long-tenured principal engineers, and a track record of designing facilities for extreme-climate and large-scale operations (e.g., 10,000+ cow Baladna Dairy in Qatar; 5,400-cow NADEC facility in Saudi Arabia). Customer segments span individual dairymen, corporate dairy operations, agricultural universities (e.g., Cornell), and government/correctional institutions (e.g., South Carolina Department of Corrections). The firm has no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no public reporting obligations.
