According to CSI MasterFormat, Division 03 specifications would typically cover which type of construction materials?
Correct Answer
A) Concrete
CSI MasterFormat Division 03 covers concrete and concrete-related materials and work. This includes cast-in-place concrete, precast concrete, and concrete accessories.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
CSI MasterFormat Division 03 is specifically designated for concrete and concrete-related work. This division encompasses all concrete construction including cast-in-place concrete, precast concrete panels, concrete accessories like reinforcing steel, and concrete restoration work. The CSI MasterFormat system uses a standardized numbering system where Division 03 has been consistently assigned to concrete work across all versions of the format.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option B: Metals
Masonry work is covered under CSI MasterFormat Division 04, which includes brick, block, stone, and other masonry materials and installation methods.
Option C: Wood and plastics
Metals are covered under CSI MasterFormat Division 05, which includes structural steel, metal fabrications, and ornamental metals.
Memory Technique
Use the mnemonic 'Can My Metal Wagon' for divisions 03-06: Concrete, Masonry, Metal, Wood. Or remember '03-crete' - the '03' sounds like the beginning of 'concrete'.
