In CSI MasterFormat, Division 03 covers which construction material category?
Correct Answer
D) Concrete
CSI MasterFormat Division 03 covers concrete and concrete-related materials and work. This includes cast-in-place concrete, precast concrete, concrete accessories, and concrete restoration.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
CSI MasterFormat Division 03 is specifically designated for concrete and all concrete-related construction work. This division encompasses all aspects of concrete construction including cast-in-place concrete, precast concrete units, concrete accessories like reinforcement and admixtures, and concrete restoration work. The CSI MasterFormat system uses a standardized numbering system where Division 03 has been consistently assigned to concrete across all versions of the format.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option B: Metals
Metals are covered under CSI MasterFormat Division 05, not Division 03. This division includes structural steel, metal fabrications, and ornamental metals.
Option C: Wood and plastics
Wood and plastics are covered under CSI MasterFormat Division 06, not Division 03. This division includes rough carpentry, finish carpentry, and plastic fabrications.
Memory Technique
Use the mnemonic 'C-M-M-W' for divisions 03-06: Concrete, Masonry, Metals, Wood. Or remember '03 = ConCrete' - both have 'C' sounds.
