In CSI MasterFormat, which division covers concrete work?
Correct Answer
C) Division 03
Division 03 covers concrete in the CSI MasterFormat system. This includes cast-in-place concrete, precast concrete, and concrete accessories and reinforcement.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Division 03 in the CSI MasterFormat system is specifically designated for all concrete work. This comprehensive division encompasses cast-in-place concrete, precast concrete panels and structural elements, concrete reinforcement including rebar, concrete accessories like admixtures and curing compounds, and specialized concrete applications. The CSI MasterFormat is the standard specification format used throughout the construction industry, and Division 03 has been consistently assigned to concrete work across all versions of the format.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: Division 05
Division 02 covers Existing Conditions, which includes demolition, selective demolition, site remediation, and structure moving - not concrete work.
Option B: Division 04
Division 05 covers Metals, which includes structural steel, metal joists, metal decking, ornamental metals, and metal fabrications - not concrete work.
Option D: Division 02
Division 04 covers Masonry, which includes brick, block, stone, mortar, and masonry accessories - not concrete work.
Memory Technique
Use '03 = Concrete' - both start with 'C' and concrete is the 3rd major building material after earth/demo (02) in the construction sequence
