Wenzel.  “Stephen Delgado, Hank Smith and their team have built a great reputation based on dedication to customer service and by providing high quality design services to the local land development market.”

Established in 2009, Texas Engineering Solutions (TES) is an Austin-based professional consulting firm specializing in civil engineering, land development, municipal consulting, and construction phase services.  They offer comprehensive, concept to completion, planning and design services for commercial and residential properties throughout Central Texas.

“We are very excited to work with a team that shares the same values and dedication to client service,” said Stephen Delgado.  “After nine years of growth and success, this was the next logical step to achieve our mission of building a world-class team providing world-class service.”
