CXC Civil Xcavation Contractors

What CXC Civil Xcavation Contractors does

CXC Civil Xcavation Contractors is a privately held civil construction and excavation contractor headquartered in Amarillo, Texas, founded in January 2024 by Max Rippetoe (Co-Owner and HS&E Director) and Texi Schaeffer (Co-Owner, Civil Engineer & Estimator). The company delivers earthwork, site preparation, wet utility installation, soil stabilization, erosion control, SWPPP compliance, and commercial and industrial site development services to customers across Texas and New Mexico. It also operates Mays Plumbing Services, a 25-year-old plumbing firm in the Texas Panhandle that CXC acquired in 2024 as a wholly owned subsidiary, extending the company's reach into plumbing and fire sprinkler work.

The firm's operational backbone combines modern field technology with founder experience. Equipment and software investments include GPS earthwork systems, machine control technology for precision grading and excavation, construction surveying equipment, and survey drone capability for site assessment. The co-owners bring 35+ years of hands-on civil construction experience and a civil engineering background covering land development design and 3D design, and CXC holds multi-jurisdictional licenses including Texas Responsible Master Plumbers License (M36206), Fire Sprinkler RME and SCR certifications, and New Mexico GF09 Utility Installation and GS08 Earthworks and Excavation licenses.

CXC operates a direct, sales-led go-to-market with no resellers or distribution partners. Customers in commercial, industrial, and residential segments engage via phone (806.290.3371) or email for free, project-specific quotes. Revenue is generated one-time per project on excavation, utility, and plumbing scopes, with horizontal segmentation across use cases rather than vertical specialization. Marketing is conducted primarily through the company website (cxc-corp.com), educational blog content, and an organic social presence on Facebook, X, YouTube, and LinkedIn, supported by Google Reviews for reputation management.
