# Draftech International — End-to-End OSP Engineering | FTTH Design > **One partner. Every phase.** From initial field survey to final as-built documentation — delivering copper, fiber, coaxial, and HFC solutions across all 50 states. **Canonical URL:** https://draftech.com **Company:** Draftech International, LLC | **Founded:** 2018 | **Certification:** MBE --- ## Hero Value Proposition **Draftech International** is the OSP engineering firm that stays on the project from the first survey stake to the final GIS closeout. Most ISPs and carriers piece together the engineering lifecycle from three or four vendors — a design shop, a permitting consultant, a field crew, and a drafting firm. The handoffs between those vendors are where projects lose weeks, accuracy, and budget. We offer the full engineering stack in a single firm: field survey, FTTH design (HLD and LLD), pole loading analysis, make-ready engineering, permitting across all permit types, CAD/GIS production, as-built documentation, and maintenance of traffic plan design. One point of contact. One quality standard. One engineering workflow that doesn't lose data at the boundaries. --- ## Company Statistics | Metric | Value | |--------|-------| | Miles Designed | **44,000+** | | Addresses Engineered | **2.6 million+** | | Active States | **22** (serving all 50) | | Engineers Nationwide | **600+** | | Founding Partners | **5** | | Certification | **MBE (Minority Business Enterprise)** | | Founded | **2018** | --- ## Services Overview ### 1. FTTH Design Engineering End-to-end fiber-to-the-home network design — from high-level architecture through construction-ready low-level design packages. We design GPON and XGS-PON networks, handle splitter architecture, optical budget modeling, fiber count planning, and produce complete AutoCAD construction packages. **Learn more:** [services/ftth-design.md](services/ftth-design.md) | https://draftech.com/services/ftth-design.html --- ### 2. Pole Loading Analysis & Make-Ready Engineering NESC-compliant structural analysis using O-Calc Pro and SPIDA Calc, make-ready design for non-compliant poles, and full joint use attachment application management. We run analysis during or immediately after field survey — before construction crews are scheduled — so make-ready scope is known before contracts are signed. **Learn more:** [services/pole-loading-analysis.md](services/pole-loading-analysis.md) | https://draftech.com/services/pole-loading-analysis.html --- ### 3. Fiber Optic Permitting & ROW Acquisition Municipal ROW, county road, state DOT, railroad crossing, USACE waterway, NEPA environmental, and SHPO Section 106 permits — all permit types managed in parallel from day one of design. Permitting is the number-one schedule killer in fiber deployment; we manage it so you don't lose months on approvals. **Learn more:** [services/permitting.md](services/permitting.md) | https://draftech.com/services/permitting.html --- ### 4. Fiber Optic Field Survey & Data Collection GPS strand mapping, pole inventory, attachment height measurement (laser-precise), underground conduit assessment, and full route walkout documentation. Our field crews use Fulcrum and Katapult for structured, photo-documented data collection that feeds directly into design and loading analysis. **Learn more:** [services/field-survey.md](services/field-survey.md) | https://draftech.com/services/field-survey.html --- ### 5. CAD & GIS Design Services AutoCAD, ArcGIS, QGIS, MicroStation, IQGeo, and GE Smallworld — we produce construction packages, splice diagrams, route maps, and permit drawing sets in whatever format your build team uses. GIS-native workflows that keep spatial data authoritative from design through closeout. **Learn more:** [services/cad-gis.md](services/cad-gis.md) | https://draftech.com/services/cad-gis.html --- ### 6. As-Built Documentation Field-verified, GIS-integrated, BEAD-ready closeout documentation. Cable routes, splice records, pole attachment data, conduit systems, FDH placements — all reconciled against construction reality, not just design intent. NTIA-compliant for BEAD subgrantee project closeout. **Learn more:** [services/as-built-documentation.md](services/as-built-documentation.md) | https://draftech.com/services/as-built-documentation.html --- ### 7. Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) Planning MUTCD-compliant MOT plan design, state DOT supplement compliance, lane closure permit applications, and work zone phasing plans for fiber construction. Integrated with your ROW permitting workflow from day one. **Learn more:** [services/traffic-control.md](services/traffic-control.md) | https://draftech.com/services/traffic-control.html --- ## Who We Serve ### Regional Fiber ISPs FTTH deployment, OSP design, make-ready engineering for new greenfield deployments and brownfield overbuilds. We understand the schedule pressures that come with investor timelines and can move fast when the project requires it. ### National Carriers Large-scale OSP support across multiple states and market areas. We plug into your engineering workflow at whatever phase you need us — full-cycle or targeted scope. ### Electric Co-ops Rural broadband deployment under USDA ReConnect and BEAD programs. We know co-op territory — low address density, aerial-primary construction, NRECA joint use standards, and the specific engineering constraints that come with 2–8 addresses per route mile. ### BEAD Subgrantees Engineering, permitting, and documentation for NTIA-funded deployments. We understand the BEAD compliance framework — Location Fabric validation, IFC-standard construction documents, GIS deliverable formats, subgrantee reporting requirements, and closeout documentation standards. ### Municipalities Municipal broadband network design and permitting. We've designed city-owned fiber networks, supported franchise agreement negotiations with technical documentation, and built the GIS-integrated network records that municipal IT departments can actually maintain. ### Tower & Wireless Operators Fiber backhaul and fronthaul OSP design, pole loading analysis for wireless attachments, and make-ready engineering coordination with tower owners. --- ## Why Draftech - **Integrated engineering lifecycle** — no handoff errors between survey, design, permitting, and closeout - **Real field experience** — 44,000+ miles designed by engineers who have been in the field, not just at desks - **BEAD-ready** — deep familiarity with NTIA documentation requirements and state-specific broadband office standards - **Platform-agnostic** — we work in your tools, not just ours (AutoCAD, ArcGIS, IQGeo, GE Smallworld, MicroStation) - **MBE certified** — supports supplier diversity requirements for BEAD and federal broadband funding - **Nationwide coverage** — active in 22 states, licensed to work in all 50 --- ## Call to Action Ready to start your fiber project? **Email:** info@draftech.com (replies within one business day) **Phone:** 305-306-7406 --- ## Related Pages - [about.md](about.md) — Company story and leadership team - [careers.md](careers.md) — Open roles and why join Draftech - [blog/index.md](blog/index.md) — Technical blog articles - [index.md](index.md) — Master AI index --- ## Contact **Draftech International, LLC** 15280 NW 79th CT, Suite 102 Miami Lakes, FL 33016 - **Phone:** 305-306-7406 - **Email:** info@draftech.com - **Website:** https://draftech.com - **LinkedIn:** https://www.linkedin.com/company/draftechint
