Construction
Specifications Institute. The Construction Specifications Institute "Master Format™ 2004"
™ is the specifications-writing standard for most commercial building design and
construction projects in North America. It lists titles and section numbers for organizing
data about construction requirements, products, and activities. By standardizing such
information, MasterFormat facilitates communication among architects, specifiers,
contractors and suppliers, which helps them meet building owners’ requirements,
timelines and budgets.
The 2004 revision of MasterFormat is the most significant in the
product’s 40-year history, and reflects the growing volume and complexity of
information generated for commercial construction projects. MasterFormat 2004 Edition:
Numbers & Titles was developed by a team of individuals representing all stakeholders
in the industry – owners, architects, engineers, contractors, manufacturers and
facility managers. MasterFormat is intended to address specification requirements through
the entire built lifecycle.
For those interested in a more detailed
listing of numbers and titles and an in-depth explanation of MasterFormat
and its use in the construction industry contact CSI Member/Customer Service at (800)
689-2900 or consult CSINet's catalog of
format documents.
