Draftech International is currently active in 22 states — deploying FTTH design, OSP engineering, pole loading, and make-ready — with full capability across all 50 U.S. states. BEAD-ready. MBE-certified.
Every Draftech state engagement covers the full OSP engineering lifecycle. No vendors to coordinate. No handoffs. One team, every phase.
High-Level Design (HLD) and Low-Level Design (LLD) for fiber-to-the-home networks — route planning through construction-ready drawings.
O-Calc Pro and SPIDA Calc structural analysis for NESC and utility compliance. Make-ready engineering for aerial fiber attachments.
State DOT, municipal, railroad, and utility right-of-way permitting. Active in 22 states, available across all 50 U.S. states.
Outside plant field survey, GPS data collection, pole inventory, and condition assessment for engineering-ready inputs.
Full-cycle outside plant engineering — from initial survey through as-built documentation — under one roof.
