The majority of its work is for the Texas Department of Transportation and the city of Corpus Christi.  It also performs work for federal, other municipal, and educational public entities and for privately funded developers, building contractors, and commercial property owners.

A related firm (HAC Materials, Ltd.) produces hot mix with three plants.  It is the construction firms largest supplier.  It also sells to other contractors and public agencies. 

Total employment ranges around 250.  The company's limited geographic area allows it to retain skilled people by moving them around without relocation.  Because it has been able to successfully secure jobs from a broad range of clients, it has experienced no end-of-job layoffs.  In fact, its current unemployment general tax rate is only 0.1%.  Consistent, trained, and long term skilled people are considered to be a significant advantage.
