Why Craig & Heidt 

Craig & Heidt is a family-owned, veteran-owned Texas company, incorporated in 1973 with roots tracing back more than 70 years. We work as a true team with clients and engineers, run our own company-owned equipment fleet maintained by in-house service technicians, and keep experienced crews (most with 5+ years on staff) in the field, supported by an in-house field engineer for horizontal and vertical layout. We operate from two permanent Texas locations: the main office in Waller and an equipment yard and maintenance facility in Channelview. 

Trusted by Industry Leaders 

Craig & Heidt has partnered with industrial owners, EPCs, and public agencies across Southeast Texas on projects ranging from plant civil work to municipal infrastructure. 

Having worked in the design and construction industry in the Greater Houston Area for over 30 years, I can easily say that the Craig & Heidt team made what could have been a difficult project, a pleasure. With the unforeseen issues arising in such a short period of time this could have easily meant costly change orders and work stoppages for the client. I would enjoy working with this team again on any type of project. I have great respect and admiration for the entire project team and their company.

In the 30 years I've been managing construction projects, I've rarely asked contractor's to bid on upcoming projects that I will be managing. After working with Craig & Heidt at the Chambers County Winnie-Stowell Airport, I've asked them to bid on several upcoming projects where I know I (or one of my inspectors) will be working. I am that confident of a successful and pleasant project when they are on the job.
