Specifications Institute (CSI) has been adopted in order to organize the sorting and numbering in the new

edition of the specifications in a manner that insures the easy flow and exchange of information among

specialists and the community of the building industry at large. The new edition involves 12 main

divisions. These divisions are:

Division 01: General Requirements

Division 02: Site work

Division 03: Concrete

Division 04: Masonry

Division 05: Metals

Division 06: Wood and Plastics

Division 07: Thermal and Moisture Protection

Division 08: Doors and Windows

Division 09: Finishes

Division 14: Conveying Systems

Division 15: Mechanical

Division 16: Electrical

Each Division comprises a number of related Sections. For example: Division 08 includes eight sections.

They are:

08100 Doors and Frames

08200 Wooden and Plastic Doors

08300 Special Doors

08400 Entrances and Storefronts

08500 Metal Windows
