What AEC Engineering does

AEC Engineering, LLC. is a privately held, minority-owned, HUB Certified civil and environmental engineering consulting firm founded in 2006 and headquartered in Edinburg, Texas, with a second office in Austin. The firm operates as a full-service engineering consultancy across four practice areas: civil engineering (site preparation, engineering design, utilities design for land development); environmental and agricultural engineering (Phase I/II site assessments, remediation, air permitting, CAFO and NPDES permitting, irrigation design); asbestos consulting (surveying, management planning, air sampling, abatement oversight under DSHS license #100517); and construction management oversight. Underlying technology consists of conventional surveying and design tooling — GPS mapping and CAD/drafting systems — without disclosed proprietary AI, ML, or platform architecture.

The firm's business model is project-based professional services billing, with fees determined by scope of work, project complexity, and client requirements. GTM is sales-led and relationship-driven: clients are acquired through phone inquiries, the website contact form, and referrals from contractors and developers. The President and Principal Engineer, Carlos Garza, P.E., personally represents clients at municipal staff and Boards, indicating a high-touch, consultative motion. AEC serves the entire State of Texas across at least six customer segments — commercial/retail developers, residential and multifamily developers, municipal and educational institutions, federal agencies, environmental services clients, and asbestos consulting clients. Named or referenced customers include Domus Development LLC, Northeast Consulting Group, the City of Edinburg, and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. The firm claims over 500 cumulative clients and 1,000+ completed sites across cities including El Paso, Laredo, Austin, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, McAllen, Edinburg, Houston, and Dallas. Headcount is in the 1–10 employee range, and no external institutional funding, M&A, or parent company ownership has been disclosed.
