CSI MASTERFORMAT

All data in the Costbook pages and Man-Hour tables is organized according to the CSI MASTERFORMAT - the industry standard numbering/classification system. The data is divided into the 16 divisions as shown below. The five digit numbers within each division correspond to the MASTERFORMAT Broadscope designations.

Each section is further broken down into MASTERFORMAT Mediumscope designations. These numbers, in most cases, are the same as those used in architectural and engineering specifications.

The construction estimating information in this book is divided into two main sections: Costbook Pages and Man-Hour Tables. Each is organized to the 16 divisions of the CSI MASTERFORMAT as shown below. In addition, there are extensive Construction Reference Tables, Geographic Cost Modifiers, Square Foot Tables and a detailed Index.

Sample pages with graphic explanations are included before the Costbook pages, Man-Hour Tables and Square Foot Tables. These explanations, along with the discussions below, will provide a good understanding of what is included in this book and how it can best be used for construction estimating.
