Our background

An Excavation Company With a Government and Commercial Background

Global Contractors LLC has been a sitework contractor since 2006. For decades the jobs were commercial and government: excavation, demolition, storm systems, utility lines and concrete. The customers were cities, counties, schools, military installations and general contractors. That work includes excavation on a large international airport project.

The yard is in Pleasanton, 17 acres south of San Antonio on US-281. The machines run out of there: excavators, dump trucks, skid steers and a forestry mulcher. Our working area is San Antonio and the 50 miles around it, Hill Country down to the brush country.

Estimates are free. We come out, look at the site and take measurements, then put the scope and the price in writing. One contractor covers the whole sequence, from clearing the lot through the digging and hauling the spoils off.

How We Work

How a Job With Global Contractors Runs

From the first call to the final grade, here is how it goes.

1

You call

Call (253) 606-9497 and tell us what the site needs: a lot cleared, a house down, a pad built. We ask enough questions to know what machines the job takes.

2

We look at the site

We drive out and read the ground: access, slope, trees, utilities, what is standing and where the dirt can go. On a build we go through the plans with you.

3

You get a written estimate

The scope and the price go in writing, broken out so you can see each part of the job. Estimates are free, and so is the site visit.

4

We do the work

Permits and utility locates come first where they apply, including the Texas 811 call before anyone digs. Then the excavators, the trucks and the mulcher go to work.

5

The finish

Spoils get hauled off or spread on site, and the ground is graded before we pull off. We go over the finished job with you while the equipment is still there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About Excavation and Demolition?

The questions property owners, builders and developers around San Antonio ask us most. If yours is not here, call and we will answer it.

Call (253) 606-9497

How do you price an excavation or demolition job?
Price follows the work: how much dirt moves, how far it goes, and what the ground is. Access for the machines and the haul-off add to it. A teardown also depends on the size of the building and what the city asks for first. Estimates are free, and we put the number in writing after we look at the site.
Is my job too small, or too big?
Both ends work. We pull out a single driveway slab, and we run site prep on a development tract with excavators and trucks going all week. Tell us the acreage or the square footage and we will say what the job takes.
Who pulls the demolition permit in San Antonio?
The City of San Antonio issues demolition permits through its Development Services Department, and the city sets who may file. We sort that out at the estimate and point you to the right office before the teardown is scheduled. Outside the city limits the county or the town handles it, so the answer changes with the address.
Does a building need an asbestos survey before it comes down?
Usually yes. Texas rules call for an asbestos inspection before most structures come down, and a licensed asbestos inspector does that survey. A house and a commercial building follow different rules, so the city or the state says which applies. If material has to come out, a licensed abatement contractor handles that before we bring a machine in.
What happens to the debris and the dirt you dig out?
It depends on the job. Clean fill often stays on site and gets spread where the grade needs it. Demolition debris and extra spoils go on the trucks and out to a site that takes the material. Dump truck hauling comes with the job, or you can hire it on its own.
Do you call for utility locates before digging?
Yes. Texas law requires a call to Texas 811 before anyone digs, and the utilities mark their lines. Texas 811 asks for that notice at least two business days ahead, so the call goes in early. Private lines nobody marks, like a water line out to a barn, are worth pointing out to us.
What areas do you cover?
The yard is in Pleasanton, about 35 miles south of San Antonio. We work roughly 50 miles around the city: Bexar, Atascosa, Comal, Guadalupe, Wilson, Medina, Kendall, Bandera, Frio and Karnes counties. New Braunfels, Seguin, Boerne, Schertz, Floresville, Helotes, Castroville, Devine and Bulverde are all inside it. The service area page lists the rest.
How soon can you get out to look at a job?
Call and we will give you a real date for the site visit. The day moves with the weather and what is already on the calendar. The work itself gets scheduled once you sign off on the estimate. Jobs that need permits or locates take longer to start, since those steps run ahead of the machines.
