Construction Management Publications
|
Construction management publications supporting UNIFORMAT II all help users apply the standard. This helps all stakeholders in a construction project improve long-term building investment performance.
The prime benefit of applying UNIFORMAT II is to increase efficiency in carrying out each phase of the building life cycle. Applying UNIFORMAT II at each step of the building process provides significant savings to industry.
Data entered in a consistent format will not have to be reentered at subsequent phases of the building life cycle. Users will understand and be able to compare information at every phase because it is linked to a common, uniform, standardized, elemental classification structure.
Better information, generated at less cost, will help owners, project managers, designers, builders, facility managers, and users build and manage their buildings for lower life-cycle costs. Our recommended construction management publications are organized into these categories: NIST, R.S. Means, Standards and Articles.
