    CONSTRUCTION MASTER SPECIFICATIONS

    QUIN A. SAJORDA

    Foreword
    The introduction of Construction Master Specification is an answer to the
    long-felt need of the construction industry, especially of the design professionals
    for this kind of reference material. Considering the universally accepted CSI
    (Construction Specification Institute) Format, the systematic arrangement of
    specifications thus paved the way towards “specs' automation," thus relieving the
    architects and engineers of the boredom and concomitant drudgery about writing
    specifications. CSI format was formed in 1963 and my becoming a member since
    1973 has been most rewarding.

    Learning the CSI format at heart will, introduce the architects and engineers
    to the benefit of long studies by various groups that evolved to what is now known
    as the Construction Specification Institute, the clearing house for specifications.

    Note that even the Architectural Graphics Standards and the Sweet’s
    Catalog, considered as musts in an architect’s library, are following the CSI Format
    in the divisioning of its graphic details and product presentations respectively.

    This book clearly provides you with a concrete example of how the CSI
    format is used and utilized. It is to be expected, for example, that a sole
    manufacturer of various products will have its products appearing on different
    divisions instead of being lumped in only one, depending on which area such
    product may be applicable.

    One must take note, however, that while the author attempts to provide a
    comprehensive presentation of the different Divisions and Sections under the CSI
    format, its use would largely depend on the needs of the specific projects being
    prepared. Divisions are fixed and should not be altered. Where it is not
    applicable, it should either be deleted, or if shown, should be clearly identified as
    not part of the specification: e.g., DIVISION 12 FURNISHINGS (not applicable)

    The value of this book cannot be overemphasized. With the difficulty in


    preparing detailed specification and the absence of comprehensive building
    construction master specifications, this ready reference aid is very important and
    timely. Considering the multitude of construction materials now flooding the
    market, an architect, and engineer, or even a building owner would have a difficulty
    in making choices in terms of type, quality and availability. With their limited time,
    identifying materials is indeed a problem.

    This book simply answers this problem.

    Welcome to the Construction Master Specifications and the CSI Format. I

    assure you that going through this book will be a rewarding experience as it was for
    me. Think, live, breathe, write CSI, and it will be a long and fruitful love-
    encounter that once imbibed will never be shaken.

    With this book your specification and specification writing will never be the
    same again.
