The firm operates a large in-house fleet of heavy equipment including Caterpillar dozers (D3 through D9R), excavators, scrapers, loaders, motor graders, paving equipment, and compaction equipment, and pairs this fleet with GPS-enabled machine control and drone-based aerial mapping through the Propeller Platform to enable faster and more accurate grading, progress tracking, and dispute resolution.

Revenue is generated through competitive bidding on fixed-price public works contracts awarded by municipal water districts, city governments, and county flood control agencies, supplemented by private developer and enterprise work. GTM is direct and relationship-driven, supported by a project portfolio website and direct contact channels. The company is privately held by its two partners, with no disclosed external institutional investment, no funding rounds, no M&A activity, and no expansion beyond the Central California region.
