Industrial Building Construction
Size Standard: $45 million
NAICS code 236210 covers Industrial Building Construction, which includes construction of manufacturing plants, warehouses, distribution centers, and other industrial facilities. This industry includes establishments responsible for the construction of industrial buildings and structures, including new construction, additions, alterations, and repairs.
Government agencies require industrial construction for maintenance depots, manufacturing arsenals, logistics centers, and specialized research facilities. The Department of Defense is the primary buyer, with major projects at Army depots, Air Force maintenance facilities, and Navy shipyards. The Department of Energy also awards substantial contracts for nuclear facilities and research laboratories.
Contractors operating under NAICS 236210 must be prepared for specialized requirements including heavy floor loading, overhead crane installations, specialized utility systems, and industrial-grade finishes. Security requirements are often stringent, particularly for defense manufacturing facilities.
The $45 million size standard is the same as commercial building construction, reflecting similar capital requirements. Davis-Bacon prevailing wages apply, and bonding requirements are substantial. Experience with industrial processes and specialized building systems is essential for competing effectively.
