FAQ

What work fits NAICS 236116?
  • Prime contractor for turnkey construction of a new rental apartment building including foundations, structural framing, MEP systems, unit interiors, elevators, and delivery to owner-accepted occupancy.
  • Construction management at-risk contract overseeing subcontractors, schedule, cost control, and quality for a new multiunit residential building.
  • Contract to construct modular or panelized multifamily units assembled on-site, including site utilities, connecting infrastructure, and commissioning of units.
  • Construction of a new supportive housing complex that integrates residential units with common dining, laundry, and program support spaces within the building scope.
When is NAICS 236116 a weak fit?
  • For-sale residential construction where the project consists of individually titled single-family homes or townhouses sold to buyers; missing the multiunit rental delivery and prime multifamily construction scope.
  • Major commercial mixed-use developments where residential units are incidental and the predominant contract focus is office or retail delivery; missing a primary multiunit residential workload.
  • Site-infrastructure or utility-only procurements that provide grading, roads, or utility distribution without vertical building shell, interiors, and unit fit-out deliverables.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 236116?
  • Scope includes line items for building shell, unit interiors, common-area finishes, elevators, and punchlist completion with performance milestones for shell complete and units ready for occupancy.
  • Evaluation or past-performance requests ask for prime-contractor experience delivering multiunit residential projects and managing multiple trade subcontractors.
  • Technical requirements reference building code compliance, unit-by-unit acceptance inspections, occupancy permit delivery, and warranty/punchlist period responsibilities.
