Question 1

What work fits NAICS 237210?

Accepted Answer

Design and construct subdivision streets, curbs, sidewalks, and stormwater systems within a new residential plat and deliver a recordable plat. Install utility stub-outs to lot lines for water, sewer, gas, and electrical service and provide utility as-built documentation for each lot. Perform grading and erosion control across a parcel to create buildable lots and implement permanent drainage structures required for lot development. Coordinate plat approvals, prepare legal descriptions, and deliver consolidated as-built drawings and certificates required for municipal acceptance and lot sales.

Question 2

When is NAICS 237210 a weak fit?

Accepted Answer

Major roadway or bridge construction contracts that build public highways or bridges without creating or servicing individual lots are outside this NAICS because they lack subdivision lot creation. Stand-alone land surveying engagements that only deliver boundary or topographic surveys without implementing site improvements do not meet subdivision and lot-preparation requirements. Residential building construction that builds houses on existing lots but does not perform platting, lot layout, or installation of primary subdivision infrastructure is not covered by this NAICS.

Question 3

What solicitation language points to NAICS 237210?

Accepted Answer

Contract requires delivery of a recordable plat, engineered site plans, municipal permitting approvals, and plat-recording documentation as closeout deliverables. Scope of work lists construction of subdivision streets, curbs, stormwater detention, grading, and utility stub-outs to lot lines with as-built drawing deliverables. Evaluation includes submission of geotechnical reports, erosion control plans, and milestone-based payments tied to local authority lot acceptance.
