MasterFormat update released

CSC and CSI have released MasterFormat 2014 Update, which includes several significant revisions from the previous edition of the design/construction industry’s organizational standard. One of the new additions is the inclusion of a “selective demolition” section in most divisions. These sections provide information on incorporating demolition into building plans. In addition, other changes include renaming Division 40 from “Process Equipment” to “Process Interconnections” and revising the content, as well as moving “Manufactured Planters” and “Site Seating and Tables” to Division 32–Exterior Improvements for better alignment with other site-based work. The MasterFormat updates are determined by a Maintenance Task Team every two years through a revision cycle process where user and industry feedback is welcomed.
