The Broadband Build-Out

America Is Building the Largest Fiber Network in Its History

The $42.45 billion BEAD program — combined with RDOF, USDA ReConnect, and state broadband matching funds — represents the most significant investment in telecommunications infrastructure since the Rural Electrification Act. For ISPs and prime contractors managing subgrantee deployments, the engineering documentation requirements are complex and the timelines are unforgiving.

BEAD Subgrantee Engineering

ISPs awarded BEAD subgrants must submit engineering packages — HLD, as-built, GIS shapefiles — that pass state broadband office review. Draftech has prepared BEAD-compliant engineering deliverables across 22 states and understands what reviewers in each state program office require for approval.

Rural Fiber Design Challenges

Rural OSP design introduces obstacles rarely encountered on suburban builds — shared utility corridors, aging aerial plant, inconsistent county road authority databases, and permit jurisdictions that span multiple agencies. Draftech field teams are experienced in rural-specific design constraints from Appalachia to the Mississippi Delta to the rural Southwest.

Single-Firm Delivery Model

Unlike firms that subcontract engineering phases to third parties, Draftech delivers every phase in-house — from field survey through final as-built documentation. This single-firm model eliminates the coordination gaps and deliverable inconsistencies that occur when multiple vendors hand off work across a project lifecycle.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Outside plant (OSP) engineering covers the physical design, permitting, and documentation of fiber optic infrastructure that runs outside of buildings — including aerial and underground routes, splice points, and fiber distribution hubs. For BEAD-funded projects, OSP engineering deliverables must meet NTIA grant documentation standards, making experienced OSP engineers critical from day one of project planning.
Yes. Draftech specializes in BEAD subgrantee engineering support — including High-Level Design (HLD) packages, as-built documentation, and compliance deliverables required by state broadband offices. We have worked across 22 states on rural broadband projects funded through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and have a thorough understanding of what reviewers look for in BEAD engineering submissions.
Draftech is active in 22 states — Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia — and available to deploy engineering teams across all 50 U.S. states for new project engagements.
Our permitting team manages right-of-way (ROW) applications with state DOTs, municipalities, railroad authorities, and utility companies. We handle the full permit lifecycle — from initial application through conditional approval tracking and permit closeout — with experience across FDOT, TxDOT, NCDOT, NJDOT, and rail crossing authorities. This reduces construction delays and keeps projects on BEAD grant timelines.
Our engineering team works in AutoCAD, MicroStation, ArcGIS, QGIS, Bentley, and specialty telecom design platforms. For FTTH design, we produce construction-ready drawing sets including splitter architecture, FDH sizing calculations, and route profiles. GIS deliverables include feature-attributed network shapefiles and geodatabases compatible with state broadband office mapping requirements.
Yes. Draftech International, LLC is a certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE). Our MBE certification supports prime contractors and government-funded ISPs that have diversity contracting requirements as part of their BEAD grant agreements or state broadband program compliance obligations. We can provide certification documentation upon request.
