UNIFORMAT II Elemental
Project Management Template

The Elemental Project Management Template saves time writing preliminary project descriptions to be in compliance with the ASTM E1557 standard, UNIFORMAT II.

It's designed to make it easier to implement the UNIFORMAT II standard. It was developed in Microsoft Excel Version 7, for Windows 95 on a PC. It will work with more recent versions of Excel and with Quattro Pro. It is ideal for:

• preliminary project descriptions, as recommended in the CSI/CSC Practice FF/180, and
• preliminary budget estimates coordinated with the preliminary project descriptions.

Save Time and Money

Architects, engineers, designers, specifiers, project managers and other members of the construction industry can also use the UNIFORMAT II Elemental Project Management Template for:

• RFPs and proposals,
• performance specifications,
• estimating and controlling costs during the planning, design and construction phases of a project,
• value engineering,
• risk analysis,
• developing initial project master schedules,
• facilities management, and
• building surveys, reserve fund studies and condition reports.

Suffer stress and frustration WITHOUT the right tool. Waste time and money.

How to Order the Template

At only USD$189 (delivered electronically) the UNIFORMAT II Elemental Project Management Template is not only highly affordable; it's an essential time-saver. It's so easy to use.

Simply edit the worksheets to suit the project, using standard spreadsheet software and the coding in the columns to sort unnecessary items out of the worksheets and determine the desired level of detail.

If you intend to order, simply complete and submit the following "intent-to-purchase" (not actually an order) form. You will be contacted by the program developer, who will complete the order with you.

He will then email you the entire project management template package consisting of these files: (a) Readme, (b) Summary, (c) Template - Excel, and (d) User's Guide.

Because all steps of the ordering process are handled by email, please be sure the email address you enter on the "intent-to-purchase" form is valid and working.

IMPORTANT: Although the development effort was colossal, the UNIFORMAT II Elemental Project Management Template is a simple Excel file, priced to sell at the equivalent of a couple of hours of engineering time.

As such, it is sold with the understanding that NO REFUND is possible. Purchase it only if you are sure it will help save time and money.

If you need more information before buying, please review the User's Guide and the screen shots B10 - Superstructure and Budgeting from the actual program.

We also recommend that you familiarize yourself with all the free UNIFORMAT information available from this site, in particular the following:

• Figure 1 - Classification Of Building Elements
• Figure 2 - Classification Of Building Related Sitework
• Figure 3 - Elemental Preliminary Project Description
• Figure 4 - Building Elemental Cost Summary
• Figure 5 - Means Assemblies Cost Data

The UNIFORMAT II Elemental Project Management Template is based on ASTM E1557 "Standard Classification for Building Elements and Related Sitework - UNIFORMAT II" and on NIST Publication 6389 "UNIFORMAT II - Elemental Classification for Building Specifications, Cost Estimating and Cost Analysis".

Elements are organized into seven major group elements: substructure, shell, interiors, services, equipment and furnishings, special construction and demolition, and building sitework. The worksheets incorporate special coding to allow you to sort out the elements and descriptive text you need, quickly and easily.
