Viewport Engineering is an independent Texas civil firm owned by Alex Van Duzer and Joshua Martinez. We prepare grading, drainage, utilities, and construction documents — the work that turns a tract into buildable lots.

How we work
Technical, local, and honest about what a drawing can do.
- 01
Read the jurisdiction first
Criteria manuals, serving utilities, and floodplain constraints come before a pretty layout. Texas review is specific; we treat it that way.
- 02
Design for constructability
Lot yield matters. So does whether a contractor can build the street, the detention, and the wet utilities without a change-order novel.
- 03
Stay through comments
A first submittal is not the job. We remain with the set through agency comments, utility coordination, and construction questions.
Have a tract, a phase, or a review comment that needs a civil set?
Tell us the jurisdiction, the lot count, and where you are in the cycle. We will respond with next steps — not a brochure.
