About Us

From Humble Beginnings to Industry Leaders

Summer of 2007: Mario Rodriguez, along with his sons, Mario Jr. and Sergio, embarked on an ambitious journey. Capital Surveying Supplies was born in a modest garage, meticulously transformed into a full-fledged survey supply shop. Though small in space, their vision was grand. With precision, they built inventory, established a service shop complete with collimator stands and scopes, and set the stage for an extraordinary journey.

Garage Transformation

Early Growth: As their reputation for quality and service spread, they quickly outgrew the garage. Their next stop? A small office in a U-Haul storage facility. It wasn’t ideal, but it was a step up. Tireless dedication paid off, and soon they needed more space again.

Major Milestone: Their hard work culminated in the move to their current location at 1400 W Sam Houston Pkwy N, Houston, TX. Here, they found the room to grow, and grow they did. Mario eventually purchased the building, expanding the business to its full capacity.

Expansion to Arlington: In November 2021, the thriving business opened a new location in Arlington to serve the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Today, with 15 dedicated employees and an exponentially growing online presence through capitalsurveyingsupplies.com, the company stands tall.

Mario Rodriguez's Legacy

Beginnings in 1980: Mario’s journey in the surveying equipment industry began as a shipping and receiving clerk for R.L. Sargent. His hard work quickly made him indispensable. A turning point came when a Leica representative chose Mario to train in Switzerland, propelling him to Head Technician.

Rising Through the Ranks: Mario excelled not just technically but also in sales, eventually running the entire store. However, when the company was sold and promises were broken, Mario decided to carve his own path.

Cornerstone Measurement Solutions: Mario founded this venture with a former colleague, bringing his sons into the industry. Mario Jr. worked as a delivery driver, and Sergio handled shipping, receiving, and technical work.

A New Beginning: When internal issues arose, Mario sold his share of the company and started anew with his sons. Capital Surveying Supplies was born, grounded in trust and dedication.

A Testament to Resilience

From a modest garage to a multi-location enterprise, Capital Surveying Supplies stands as a testament to Mario Rodriguez’s resilience, integrity, and unwavering commitment to quality. The legacy he built continues to grow, serving the surveying community with the same dedication and excellence that started it all.
