Free Building Product Specifications - All of ARCAT specs are written by CSI Fellows. ARCAT Specs are complete, accurate, and in the CSI 3-part and the Canadian CSC formats for building and construction professionals. Our building product and material specifications are free to. The CSI MasterFormat is divided into sections and numbers that will help you organize construction requirements, products, specifications and activities by groups or trades. One of the most important benefits of using the CSI MasterFormat outline is that communication will be improved between project groups as all team members can refer to.
The CSI Code Template module in Data Maintenance allows a user to cut down on the time it takes to create CSI Codes for projects.
Often, a contractor uses different codes for various business units within the company such as office, school, industrial, and so on. To assign a list of codes for a project quickly, you can create a template for each unit in this module.
You can import CSI codes and divisions from an Excel spreadsheet for CSI code templates.
When a project is initially set up for a particular unit, you have the option to initialize with an existing template. Changes made in the CSI Code Template are not applied to any project from this module.
Changes are applied to a specific project from the Project CSI Code module in the Project Information folder.
