Create construction or installation diagrams.

Create construction or installation diagrams. is a detailed work activity in O*NET — a concrete unit of work shared across 7 occupations and seen in 8 occupation-specific tasks. It rolls up into the broader work activity Create visual designs or displays. in Thinking Creatively .

Detailed work activities are the most granular shared layer in O*NET's work-activity hierarchy (Generalized → Intermediate → Detailed → occupation-specific task). The figures below describe how this activity shows up across the economy and what independent studies measure about AI and this kind of work — not a prediction that the work will be automated.

AI exposure

Of the 8 tasks under this activity that the OpenAI / Eloundou “GPTs are GPTs” study rated, 8 (100%) are flagged as directly exposed to language models (E1) or exposed via model-powered tools (E2).

Exposure estimates overlap with model capabilities — whether a model could speed the task up — not whether the work will be done by software. Observed AI use is augmentation and assistance today, not jobs replaced.

Member tasks

Occupation-specific tasks O*NET maps to this detailed work activity, most important first.

• Prepare sketches or follow blueprints to determine the location of wiring or equipment and to ensure conformance to building and safety codes. · Electricians · importance 4.6 · exposure with tools
• Diagram layouts and locations for photovoltaic (PV) arrays and equipment, including existing building or site features. · Solar Photovoltaic Installers · importance 4.4 · exposure with tools
• Lay out full scale drawings of pipe systems, supports, or related equipment, according to blueprints. · Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters · importance 4.1 · exposure with tools
• Design paver installation layout pattern and create markings for directional references of joints and stringlines. · Segmental Pavers · importance 4.0 · exposure with tools
• Develop and maintain system architecture, including all piping, instrumentation, or process flow diagrams. · Solar Energy Installation Managers · importance 3.8 · exposure with tools
• Draw building diagrams and record dimensions. · Carpet Installers · importance 3.8 · exposure with tools
• Convert blueprints into shop drawings to be followed in the construction or assembly of sheet metal products. · Sheet Metal Workers · importance 3.7 · exposure with tools
• Provide preliminary sketches or cost estimates for materials or services. · Electricians · importance 3.7 · direct LLM exposure
