"Success = Data and Information Management, therefore MasterFormat 2004 is our definition of communications management." - Reggie S. Smith, Project Management Solutions "Just do it. It's a modest amount of administrative work to convert. Industry members need to do this prior to implementation of full scale BIM applications." - Phil Kabza, FCSI, CCS, AIA, of SpecGuy

The recognized industry standard for more than 40 years, MasterFormat 2004 Edition replaces MasterFormat 1995, expanding the well-known "16 Divisions" to 50 Divisions of construction information.

With this extensive expansion, CSI also offers education and strategies to help you make the transition. With CSI's help, it's easier than you may think.
