What is the CSI MasterFormat?

MasterFormat is critical to organizing and communicating building and construction cost and technical information.  It representents the basic elements required for detailed line-item construction cost estimating, the most valid form of costing.   Referred to as “the Dewey Decimal System” of repair, renovation, and construction, CSI MasterFormat is a series of coding systems, broken down and categorized within fifty (50) Divisions.

4BT offers cost data in expanded CSI Masterformat.  We leverage the CSI Masterformat structure and provide an even higher level of granularity.  CSI Masteformat contains eight (8) digits, for example, 23 22 23.23 Pressure-Powered Steam Condensate Pumps.  4BT coding contains 16 digits to allow for specific components/tasks.

Every area of construction and manufacturing for the construction industry is covered under the CSI MasterFormat. This is true for commercial, industrial, and residential buildings.

Current Construction Cost Data CSI Masterformat is critical to cost visibility and cost management for both owners and design-builders throughout the repair, renovation, maintenance, and new build planning, procurement, and project delivery life-cycle.
