How to read SIC 71121
SIC 71121 reads as division 71 (architectural and engineering activities; technical testing and analysis), group 711, class 7112, then the full five digits, inside section M, professional, scientific and technical activities. A company picks its own codes, up to four, and Companies House does not check them, so 71121 is the company's own description of what it does, and 8,408 list it first where 11,988 list it anywhere.
Who sells into division 71
Construction supply chains drive most of the selling here. Main contractors and developers search these codes to find design partners.

Should an architect use SIC code 71111 or a construction code?
A design practice belongs under 71111, or 71112 for planning and landscape work. Division 41 and 43 codes describe businesses that physically build. Companies House does not police the choice. One thing does matter: the title architect is legally protected in the UK by the Architects Registration Board. Only ARB-registered individuals may use it, whatever SIC code the company holds.
