In the CSI MasterFormat system, Division 03 covers which type of construction materials?
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 reinforcement, and concrete accessories.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Division 03 in the CSI MasterFormat system is specifically designated for concrete and concrete-related work. This division encompasses all aspects of concrete construction including cast-in-place concrete, precast concrete units, concrete reinforcement (rebar), concrete accessories, and specialized concrete applications. The CSI MasterFormat is organized numerically, and Division 03 has been consistently assigned to concrete materials and systems across all versions of the format.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: Metals
Masonry is covered under Division 04 in the CSI MasterFormat system, which includes brick, block, stone, and other masonry materials and installation methods.
Option C: Masonry
Metals are covered under Division 05 in the CSI MasterFormat system, which includes structural steel, metal fabrications, and ornamental metals.
Memory Technique
Use the mnemonic 'Can My Metal Wallet' for Divisions 03-06: Concrete, Masonry, Metal, Wood. The number 03 sounds like 'tree' and concrete is made from cement (starts with 'C' like tree).
