the 3B Construction legacy began.
where it started
Founded as 3B Dozer Service
3B Construction’s story began in 1983, when Don Bodiford founded 3B Dozer Service as an earth-moving company serving agricultural clients. Built on practical field experience and dependable work, the company quickly became known for supporting customers with the equipment, effort, and follow-through needed to get demanding jobs done.
What started in agricultural earthwork would eventually grow into a broader construction company serving larger and more complex project needs. But the foundation remained the same: hard work, field knowledge, customer relationships, and a commitment to doing the job right.
Growth through the work
From Agricultural Work to Larger-Scale Civil Construction
As the company’s reputation grew, 3B Dozer Service expanded beyond its agricultural roots into larger commercial earthwork, infrastructure, mining, and renewable energy construction projects throughout Texas. That evolution reflected both the company’s growing capabilities and the trust it had earned through reliable field performance.
Over time, 3B became known for more than moving dirt. The company built experience in site preparation, road infrastructure, rock and gravel hauling, rock crushing, cement recycling, and other construction support services needed for demanding project environments.
family leadership
Leadership Rooted in Family Ownership
Clarence Bodiford later took over the company from his father, Don Bodiford, continuing the family leadership and hands-on approach that shaped 3B from the beginning. Under Clarence’s leadership, the company remained focused on practical construction support, dependable service, and the Central Texas markets it knew well.
That family-owned foundation continues to be an important part of the 3B story. As the company grew into larger-scale civil construction, infrastructure, mining, and renewable energy work, it preserved the customer relationships, field knowledge, and accountability that helped build its reputation.
Founded on Field Experience
3B began with hands-on earth-moving work, practical equipment knowledge, and a clear understanding of what customers needed in the field.
Family-Owned Foundation

Central Texas Focus

Built to Keep Evolving
As the company moved into larger civil, infrastructure, mining, and energy work, it preserved the values and work ethic that shaped its name.
New Branding, Expanded Capabilities
In 2021, the company rebranded from 3B Dozer Service to 3B Construction to better reflect its expanded services, broader capabilities, and growing markets. The new name represented more than a visual change. It signaled how far the company had evolved from its early agricultural earth-moving roots into larger-scale civil construction, infrastructure, mining, renewable energy, and site development work.
Through that growth, 3B maintained many of the capabilities that helped build its reputation, including rock and gravel hauling, rock crushing, cement recycling, earthwork, site preparation, and practical field support. The company also expanded its management team to better serve the customers, markets, and project demands it supports today.
