Cadwell Civil Authority is a civil construction consulting and sitework services company specializing in project budgeting, site preparation, excavation, and construction coordination for developers, municipalities, and contractors.

Founded by Michael P. Cadwell, the company brings together years of hands-on experience in heavy civil construction, sitework estimating, and project management across both public and private sector projects. Our experience includes work supporting projects involving the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, municipalities, the National Park Service, and private development teams, delivering projects that demand precision, accountability, and field-tested expertise.

Cadwell Civil Authority was established to bridge a critical gap in the construction industry — the disconnect that often exists between project planning, cost estimating, and field execution. By combining consulting services with real-world construction capabilities, we provide clients with practical solutions that move projects efficiently from concept to completion.

Our services support projects at multiple stages, including:

• Phase 1 Site Preparation & Feasibility Evaluations
• Civil Project Budgeting & Cost Forecasting
• Project Brokering & Contractor Coordination
• Value Engineering & Scope Optimization
• Sitework Planning and Construction Strategy

In addition to consulting services, Cadwell Civil Authority also provides select excavation and sitework services, allowing us to bring plans to life in the field. Our construction capabilities include:

• Small-to-mid scale excavation and site preparation
• Grading and land leveling for development or agricultural use
• Material handling, clearing, and site cleanup
• Drainage improvements and trenching
• Property and farm infrastructure improvements
• Precision grading using modern equipment and attachments

By offering both strategic planning and hands-on construction, we give clients a single partner capable of identifying challenges early and executing solutions efficiently.

Every project we support is guided by two core principles:

Clarity in Communication
Clear expectations, open collaboration, and transparent decision-making from concept through construction.

Strength in Execution
Practical, field-tested solutions delivered safely, efficiently, and done right the first time.

At Cadwell Civil Authority, we believe successful projects come from combining smart planning with strong execution. Whether assisting with early project budgeting, coordinating contractors, or performing sitework in the field, our goal is to help clients move projects forward with confidence.

From concept to construction — we help build projects the right way
