MasterFormat

The MasterFormat system was designed by the Commercial Specification Institute in an attempts to organize construction documents in a uniformed manner.  The format uses a system similar to that used in a library to separate the different drawings by general and increasingly specific features.  Construction documents can be hundreds of pages long, typically on huge blueprint paper, making thumbing through them difficult if not impossible.  MasterFormat allows construction professional and tradespeople an easy index to find what they are looking for, this saving both time and money.
