FAQ

What work fits NAICS 541340?
  • Convert paper or scanned construction plans into CAD files with correct scale, dimensions, and layer structure for contract use.
  • Produce fabrication-ready shop drawings for metalwork, mechanical assemblies, or piping runs showing welds, bends, and part dimensions.
  • Create as-built drawings following site surveys and incorporate field markups into final CAD deliverables.
  • Generate 2D schematics and detail drawings for technical manuals and maintenance teams, annotated with part numbers and reference information.
When is NAICS 541340 a weak fit?
  • Engineering design services: contracts requiring structural calculations, load analysis, or system design responsibility go beyond drafting and require licensed engineering deliverables.
  • Architectural design and code compliance: conceptual design, space planning, and code analysis that change project scope are architecture services rather than drafting-only outputs.
  • GIS mapping and spatial analysis: production of geospatial datasets, projections, and spatial analysis products differs from CAD drafting focused on fabrication or construction drawings.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 541340?
  • Solicitation lists required CAD formats (DWG, DXF, or Revit), layer naming conventions, and file delivery protocols.
  • Labor category qualifications specify CAD drafter experience, software proficiency, and deliverable turnaround hours rather than engineering licensure.
  • Deliverables include annotated drawings, revision-controlled CAD files, and as-built updates with measured dimensions and field verification reports.
