CSI MasterFormat and Division 07

How the MasterFormat list numbers construction work, where fabricated and manufactured flashing sit in Division 07, how a three-part section pins down metals, lengths and joints, and how to cross-check a section, spot its defects and keep the record.

  1. Lesson 1 · 13 min · 10 slides · 12 questions

    CSI MasterFormat and Division 07: principles and terminology

    What the MasterFormat list is, how its numbers are built, where fabricated and manufactured flashing sit in Division 07 as the 2018 list prints it, and why Division 01 procedures matter to a fabricator.

    You will be able to: Define MasterFormat, read a six-digit section number, locate sheet metal flashing and its neighbours in Division 07, and name what Division 01 does for a section that points to it.

  2. Lesson 2 · 11 min · 9 slides · 10 questions

    CSI MasterFormat and Division 07: materials, standards and design constraints

    How a three-part section is organised and what two real flashing sections (a federal guide specification and a utility's) pin down: metals, minimum thicknesses, piece lengths, joint spacing, cleats and ES-1 references, set against AFS limits.

    You will be able to: Identify the standards, metals, thicknesses, lengths, joint spacings and performance references a Division 07 flashing section places on a fabricator, and say whose value each one is.

  3. Lesson 3 · 12 min · 11 slides · 9 questions

    CSI MasterFormat and Division 07: methods and worked application

    A repeatable method for reading and cross-checking a flashing section, with worked examples on routing a coping, counting submittals, joint counts on a 70 ft run and piece lengths against AFS limits, and how one section words the installation order.

    You will be able to: Apply a five-step method to route an item across sections, list what a section asks a fabricator to submit, check lengths and joint counts against stated limits, and record the assumptions and questions that remain.

    CSI MasterFormat and Division 07: defects, verification and case study

    Real defects found in public flashing sections, how to check a submittal and the work against a section, a constructed ES-1 coping case, and how to write the question and keep the evidence.

    You will be able to: Diagnose gaps, overlaps, conflicting numbers and edition drift in a flashing specification, verify a submittal and the finished work against the section, and write the question and the record.

Practical task

Build a spec-map packet from two Division 07 sections you are given (or the public UFGS 07 60 00 and a utility section): a routing table for every flashing item, a submittal list, a length and joint check against the AFS maximum piece, an assumptions log and three written questions.

Hand in

  • A routing table: each flashing item, the section number that names it, whether the section calls it fabricated or manufactured, and the Related Work pointer that confirms it
  • A submittal list in three groups (action, informational, closeout) with the paragraph each item comes from and the Division 01 section it is sent under
  • A length and joint check: the section's piece lengths against the AFS maximum piece length, and the joint count for one run you choose, with every sentence of the joint paragraph applied and any assumption written out
  • An assumptions log: every assumption, the paragraph that made it necessary, and the edition each cited standard carries
  • Three written questions, each naming the section and paragraph, the words in doubt, the readings you see and the assumption you would proceed on

Rubric

CriterionMeets the standard when
RoutingEach item is routed by the section text and its Related Work, not by the number alone, and any item that two sections claim is raised as a question.
Units and sourcesEvery value carries its unit and names the document that sets it; no value is presented as a universal rule.
Length and jointsAFS maximum piece length is applied from the register, the arithmetic is shown, and the tail sentence of the joint rule is applied, with any assumption written down rather than silently chosen.
EditionsThe edition of every cited standard is recorded as the document cites it, and a mismatch between documents is noted.
QuestionsEach question can be answered without reading the rest of the project manual, and none asks for approval of a product.

Module quiz

10 questions drawn from a bank of 39; a new set each attempt. Pass mark 85%.

1. How many of the 50 divisions (00 to 49) are in use in the 2018 master list?
2. In SRP's 07 62 00, what does a metal thickness stated in the section set?
3. This module reads the 2018 master list. A project's specification cites a different MasterFormat edition. What should you check before relying on a section number from this module?
4. Under which number does the list file manufactured gutters and downspouts?
5. When does UFGS's optional Field Quality Control paragraph ask for the documentation copy?
6. Which description of MasterFormat does Construction Canada give?
7. How many articles does Part 1 of SRP's 07 62 00 have?
8. At what maximum interval does UFGS ask for expansion joints in aluminum sheet metal, apart from extruded aluminum gravel stops and fascia?
9. At what centers does SRP's coping article anchor the continuous cleat?
10. What is the longest section SRP allows for copings and roof edge flashing?
