ASTM reworked as ASTM E 1557-93 w/ 3 Levels:
Standard Classification for Building Elements and Related Sitework -UNIFORMAT II
CSI published an aid to use of the 3 Levels in 1998
E.g., Steam is in D3040, HVAC Distribution Systems

NIST proposed detailed Level 4 breakdown in 1999
E.g, Steam = D3043

Use of UNIFORMAT
Original UNIFORMAT was developed specifically for design phase estimates. UNIFORMAT II is applicable to all phases of a building’s life cycle. The classification is currently applied for:
· Planning Estimates
· Design Phase Estimates
· Checklists for Technical Design Reviews
· Design-Build Facilities Procurement
· Construction Claims Analysis
· Building Condition Evaluation
· Long-Term Capital Replacement Budgeting
· Organizing Design, Engineering, and Cost Information for Manuals and Databases
· Organizing Maintenance and Life-Cycle Cost Data

www.OCCSnet.org -- CSI is secretary; promoting use of standardized tables of nomenclature for built environment (e.g, UNIFORMAT for d. Element)
a. COMPLEX: Association of related facilities, often in intricate combination, interacting to contribute to an overall mission. Examples: Neighborhood, farm, military base, airport.
b. FACILITY: Definable unit of the built environment with a primary use. Definable units inherently have a site. Definable units may be grouped into Complexes, characterized by having more than one primary use. Each definable unit may have sub-components, defined as Spaces, characterized by sub-uses. Examples: office building; park, apartment building. (Note: A Facility becomes a Complex when it is of a scale or complexity which includes more than one primary use.)
c. SPACE: Definable unit forming a part of a Facility with a specific use. Examples: auditorium; janitor closet; office; aircraft runway.
d. ELEMENT: A physical part or system of a facility with a characteristic function (such as enclosing, furnishing, servicing) defined without regard to the technical solution, method, or form of construction. Examples: foundation; foot path; waterway lock gate.
e. PRODUCT: A material or an assembly which is marketable as a component for application into a facility. Examples: aggregate; concrete; door; coil liner. Note: The “Products Table” must include: Both raw materials and components; A time line of source/use: (tree > board > cabinet)
f. PROCESS AID: Item used for the acquisition, maintenance, operation, or recycling of the facility, but not included as a permanent part of the facility. Examples: scaffolding; construction tools; consumable stores (e.g., welding electrodes); design production tools, documents (e.g., specifications).
g. PROCESS SERVICE: Activity directed towards the acquisition, maintenance, operation, and recycling of a facility. Examples: funding; project administration; bonding, property insurance; demolition; site evaluation; product testing; grass cutting; HVAC maintenance.
h. PARTICIPANT: One who performs a Process Service. Examples: owner; lawyer; architect; crane operator; janitor, facilities manager, security guard.
i. ATTRIBUTE: A physical, performance, or relational characteristic of facilities, products, process aids, and process services. Examples: design loads; elongation; scale, operability

Principles:
1. Impose as little change as possible into the divisions that have composed the architectural building subjects.
2. Drop MasterFormatTM's product classification function.
3. Make MasterFormatTM more acceptable to building engineering disciplines.
4. Expand MasterFormatTM to cover other than building construction adequately.
5. Revise MasterFormatTM to follow classification principles.
6. Provide space for expansion within each division.
7. Maintain organizational consistency among divisions.
8. Expand MasterFormatTM to have the capacity to comprehend the full life cycle, including use by owners and facility managers.
