I’m Shawn Atherton, founder of 3D SEA LLC. With a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering and over 30 years of hands-on experience in sitework and earthwork, I bring a practical, detail-driven approach to every project. My background spans all phases of construction—from early bidding and design to final as-builts—ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and field-ready results.

Whether you’re looking to streamline your bidding process, build precise 3D models, optimize grading for machine control, or generate final as-built plans, I offer a full range of services to support your team from start to finish. I specialize in CAD work, earthwork takeoffs, GPS setup, and machine control file generation using Topcon and Trimble systems, and I’m committed to delivering clean, accurate, and field-usable data.

At 3D SEA LLC, the goal is simple: help contractors work smarter, faster, and with confidence.
Let’s build something solid—together.
