The CSI MasterFormat is the standard maverick which helps everyone stay on budget, develop timelines, meet deadlines and meet building owner’s requirements.
Standards are needed to improve coordination and facilitate communication among all workers in the construction project, including architects, suppliers, engineers, project managers and energy consultants. You might say that the MasterFormat is a continual work in progress and constantly evolving. Those in the construction industry are even encourage to propose revisions to CSI. The divisions in the MasterFormat are structured for both future growth and expansion. The information is organized in title divisions, such as electrical, mechanical, procurement and contracting requirements, HVAC and thermal protection.Īlthough its earlier publication comprised of 16 divisions of construction, it has expanded to 50 divisions to reflect the current complexity of the construction industry along with the need to incorporate maintenance information and facility life cycle information. Basically, the MasterFormat is an indexing system for the organization of construction data. This publication is the specifications-writing standard for most of today’s construction and commercial building design projects in North America. The Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) is the organization that publishes the MasterFormat.
