Classification of InformationWhat is MasterFormat?

MasterFormat is a master list of numbers and subjectMasterFormat is a master list of numbers and subject

titles classified by work results or construction

practices for organizing information about their

requirements, products, and activities.

Example: 27 15 00.00 – Communications Horizontal

Cabling

Why Revise MasterFormat?• New materials and processes.• Include all types of construction:

• Transportation and heavy civil engineering.• MEP• Industrial and process.• Infrastructure.

• Facilitate increased database use.• Address project life-cycle issuesAddress project life cycle issues.• Provide flexibility for future.
