Item 3.  Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

         The following documents which have been filed or will be filed by Dycom
Industries, Inc. (the "Registrant") with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission") pursuant to the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), are incorporated as of their
respective dates in this Registration Statement by reference and shall be deemed
to be a part hereof:

                  (i)      the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 
                           fiscal year ending July 31, 1998;

                  (ii)     the Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
                           the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 1998; and

                  (iii)    the description of the common stock, par value
                           $0.331/3 per share, contained in the Registrant's
                           Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed with the
                           Commission on September 11, 1990.


         All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a),
13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective
amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which
deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, are incorporated by reference
in this Registration Statement and are a part hereof from the date of filing
such documents. Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to
be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded
for purposes of this registration statement to the extent that a statement
contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is
deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such
statement. Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except
as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this registration
statement.

Item 4.  Description of Securities.

         Not applicable.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

         Not applicable.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

         The By-Laws of the Registrant provide that the Registrant shall
indemnify each director and officer of the Registrant to the fullest extent
permitted by law and limits the liability of directors to the Registrant and its
stockholders for monetary damages in certain circumstances. The Registrant has
insured its directors and officers against certain civil liabilities in
connection with the registration, offering and sale of the securities.

         The provisions of the Florida Business Corporation Act that authorize
indemnification do not eliminate the duty of care of a director and, in
appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms
of nonmonetary relief will remain available under Florida law. In addition, each
director will continue to be subject to liability for (a) violations of the
criminal law, unless the director had reasonable cause to believe his conduct
was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, (b)
deriving an improper


<PAGE>



personal benefit from a transaction, (c) voting for or assenting to an unlawful
distribution and (d) willful misconduct or a conscious disregard for the best
interests of the Registrant in a proceeding by or in the right of the
shareholder. The statute does not affect a director's responsibilities under any
other law, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental
laws.

Item 7.           Exemption from Registration Claimed.

                  Not applicable.

                    Registrant, as to the legality of the securities registered
                    hereby.

23.1                Consent of Deloitte & Touche LLP.

                    Registration Statement).


Item 9.             Undertakings.

                  (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

                  (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
         being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement
         to include any material information with respect to the plan of
         distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or
         any material change to such information in this registration statement;


<PAGE>




                  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
         the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
         to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
         therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
         deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

                  (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
         amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at
         the termination of the offering.

                  (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby further undertakes that,
for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing
of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                  (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

         The following documents which have been filed or will be filed by Dycom
Industries, Inc. (the "Registrant") with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission") pursuant to the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), are incorporated as of their
respective dates in this Registration Statement by reference and shall be deemed
to be a part hereof:

                  (i)      the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 
                           fiscal year ending July 31, 1998;

                  (ii)     the Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
                           the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 1998; and

                  (iii)    the description of the common stock, par value
                           $0.331/3 per share, contained in the Registrant's
                           Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed with the
                           Commission on September 11, 1990.

         All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a),
13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective
amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which
deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, are incorporated by reference
in this Registration Statement and are a part hereof from the date of filing
such documents. Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to
be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded
for purposes of this registration statement to the extent that a statement
contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is
deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such
statement. Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except

statement.

Item 4.  Description of Securities.

         Not applicable.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

         Not applicable.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

         The By-Laws of the Registrant provide that the Registrant shall
indemnify each director and officer of the Registrant to the fullest extent
permitted by law and limits the liability of directors to the Registrant and its
stockholders for monetary damages in certain circumstances. The Registrant has
insured its directors and officers against certain civil liabilities in
connection with the registration, offering and sale of the securities.

         The provisions of the Florida Business Corporation Act that authorize
indemnification do not eliminate the duty of care of a director and, in
appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms
of nonmonetary relief will remain available under Florida law. In addition, each
director will continue to be subject to liability for (a) violations of the
criminal law, unless the director had reasonable cause to believe his conduct
was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, (b)
deriving an improper
personal benefit from a transaction, (c) voting for or assenting to an unlawful
distribution and (d) willful misconduct or a conscious disregard for the best
interests of the Registrant in a proceeding by or in the right of the
shareholder. The statute does not affect a director's responsibilities under any
other law, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental
laws.

Item 7.           Exemption from Registration Claimed.

                  Not applicable.

                    July 31, 1994).

4.5                 Dycom Industries, Inc. 1998 Incentive Stock Option Plan,
                    (incorporated by reference to the Company's Proxy Statement

5                   Opinion of Akerman, Senterfitt & Eidson, counsel to the
                    Registrant, as to the legality of the securities registered
                    hereby.

23.1                Consent of Deloitte & Touche LLP.

23.2                Consent of Akerman, Senterfitt & Eidson (included in Exhibit
                    5).

24                  Power of Attorney (included on the signature pages to this
                    Registration Statement).

Item 9.             Undertakings.

                  (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

                  (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
         being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement
         to include any material information with respect to the plan of
         distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or
         any material change to such information in this registration statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
         the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
         to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
         therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
         deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

                  (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
         amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at
         the termination of the offering.

                  (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby further undertakes that,
for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing
of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                  (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly
