Civil design / CAD production

Drafting.
Design.
Development.

We transform concepts into precise, buildable solutions—from detailed plans to complete site development.

Specializing in grading, earthwork, and site development, LONESTAR delivers practical civil-design solutions that keep projects moving from concept to construction.

Civil design without the traditional workflow.

LONESTAR combines civil-design experience with a streamlined online production process designed to move projects forward quickly.

Send your files, define the scope, collaborate directly, and receive completed design deliverables without unnecessary layers of communication. For qualifying scopes, expedited turnaround options are available.

Experienced, certified Civil 3D and AutoCAD production supports the workflow—without becoming the sales pitch.

From files to finished deliverables.

01

Submit

Upload drawings, survey information, point files, PDFs, CAD files, sketches, markups, or project requirements.

02

Scope

LONESTAR reviews the information and confirms the deliverable, price, and turnaround time.

03

Collaborate

Communicate directly through email, Microsoft Teams, or another agreed channel. Exchange files, markups, questions, and revisions digitally.

04

Deliver

Receive organized CAD files, PDFs, calculations, surfaces, profiles, sections, quantities, or other agreed deliverables.

Grading first.
Production ready.

Core Grading
Package

Starting at $3,500

Typical base-package guideline: approximately 10,000 square feet. Project qualification is confirmed after review.

Typical scope can include

  • Site grading plan
  • Existing and proposed contours
  • Spot elevations
  • Building/pad grading
  • Basic drainage intent
  • Surface creation
  • Cut-and-fill analysis
  • Earthwork summary
  • PDF plan set
  • Associated CAD deliverables as agreed

Final pricing and turnaround depend on survey quality, terrain, drainage complexity, number of structures, revision and permitting requirements, and completeness of the information provided.

Small scope.
Direct delivery.

Turnaround commitments apply only after LONESTAR reviews and accepts a clearly defined, production-ready scope.

01

Point File to Civil 3D Surface

Create one existing-ground surface from a clean, properly formatted survey point file of up to approximately 2,000 points, without extensive data reconstruction.

Starting at
$300
02

Cross-Sections

Up to five Civil 3D sections and section views using a provided or readily generated existing surface and standard presentation.

Starting at
$400
03

Profile & Profile View

One alignment profile and Civil 3D profile view, up to approximately 500 linear feet, using one existing/proposed surface combination.

Starting at
$400
04

Cut & Fill Analysis

Compare available or readily generated existing and proposed surfaces for one defined project area and provide a basic volume summary.

Starting at
$350
05

Permit-Ready Check

A design-production review for obvious drafting, coordination, grading, labeling, and plan-completeness issues. This does not constitute permitting-authority approval.

Starting at
$300

Priority Design Retainer

Starting at $1,500/week

Reserve an agreed block of weekly Civil 3D and civil-design production time for priority scheduling, direct access, file sharing, redlines, CAD production, grading revisions, quantity updates, sections, profiles, surfaces, and design-development support.

The weekly rate corresponds to an agreed number of reserved hours. Additional hours are billed separately. Custom monthly retainers are available.

Express Delivery

Starting at +$500

Or approximately 25%–30% of the project fee, whichever is greater. A 24- to 48-hour delivery window may be available for qualifying projects.

Timing begins only after the scope is approved, required files and information are complete, payment or deposit requirements are satisfied, and LONESTAR confirms eligibility.

Large developments, multiple buildings, complex stormwater or utilities, major roadways, subdivisions, incomplete surveys, extensive permitting research, multiple alternatives, significant revisions, and out-of-scope services require a custom schedule. Expedited delivery is not an unconditional guarantee.
