I assume this would go in Division 0, under "Available Project Information", Document 000310. Again this is a private sector project. Guest (Unregistered Guest) Unregistered guest Posted on Sunday, January 10, 2016 - 10:10 pm:    For those few, usually gov't projects, I've made it follow cover/title page and ID as 00 01 03 - Project Directory. It does not seem to me that 0031xx location is consistent with other CSI's MasterFormat description/titles. ken hercenberg Senior Member Username: khercenberg Post Number: 975 Registered: 12-2006 Posted on Monday, January 11, 2016 - 10:48 am:    I agree with guest though i would put it after Certification and Seals pages but before the Table of Contents.

Axt, CCS, CSI ,SCIP Senior Member Username: david_axt Post Number: 1449 Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Monday, January 11, 2016 - 01:27 pm:    I made a suggestion to the MasterFormat team a few months ago. Here is their response: Dear David Axt, Thank you for taking the time to submit MasterFormat revision proposal 2239, 00 00 03 Project Directory, submitted 4/14/2015. Having carefully reviewed the substance of your proposal, the MasterFormat Maintenance Task Team found its subject matter to be an appropriate addition to MasterFormat. The following number and title has been added in MasterFormat as a result of your proposal: 00 01 03 Project Directory This change is not yet reflected on the MasterFormat website. The website and printed manual will be updated to reflect this change in January 2016. Thank you for your assistance, and your interest in, and use of, MasterFormat.

Technical Services must be the Fairy Godmother of CSI, I always knew she existed, making sure Masterformat is not violated, I for one will sleep better tonight. If only there was a fairy godmother for specifiers, my clients have beaten me up today, fighting back is not ethical in this case, besides I'd like to be paid someday. David J.

I guess that if its in the 50's here it must be a lot colder up north, you'all stay warm now. Sheldon Wolfe Senior Member Username: sheldon_wolfe Post Number: 892 Registered: 01-2003 Posted on Tuesday, January 12, 2016 - 12:12 pm:    No offense, but sometimes I think people overthink MasterFormat. 00-0101 - Project Title Page. Includes project name and other general information. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has used this page to list the project team. Another (Unregistered Guest) Unregistered guest Posted on Tuesday, January 12, 2016 - 01:05 pm:    I'm with Sheldon I think, we are probably over thinking this. I'll usually let the drawings name all the project participants. If for some reason I did want to list them in the specifications and duplicate that information, I'd follow the lead that MasterSpec has and list it all under the article "Project Information" in 01 1000 - Summary. Michael Chusid, RA FCSI CCS Senior Member Username: michael_chusid Post Number: 108 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Tuesday, January 12, 2016 - 02:34 pm:    Why should names of architect's sub-consultants be listed in bidding and construction documents at all when, presumably, all correspondence is to be filtered through the architect?

Everyone wants a little publicity!
