Help me, Marc--

Is a consumable a "work result" or a "transient activity"?

Temporary staging is a work result even though it gets torn down later as does any false work. The real issue here is the location of the section.

Is this a Temporary Facility 01 5x xx or part of Administration.

As this takes place in and for project meetings I firmly believe that it should be in 01 3x xx.

Marc are you sure about the temporary aspect of these units? I am sure there are plenty of mid-sections and thighs out there to prove otherwise.

Getting back to Ralph's very serious question, shouldn't the title be revised? Remember, we're talking about MF04.

Shouldn't it be "Perforated Pastrying"?

much as the temporary work supports the consturction of the wall donuts support the permanent construction and the soul of the architect. (along with coffee and sugar or cream admixtures allowed but no Clorine ion producing chemicals like non-dairy creamer.

not all section titles are geronds.

But if you must then baking or frying could be used. but since that varies with type perhaps
Perforated Pastry Production. No no I think were fine with PPU's

See also the masonry and stone sections for examples.

I see.

I guess I should retitle the section I just wrote...

Section 01 77 23 "Project Closeout Partying" should be "Project Closeout Party Event," maybe.

Why not consider a number like 01 64 13, placing it within 01 64 00 Owner-Furnished Products?

Would referenced sections include:
01 71 00 Examination and Preperation
01 74 00 Cleaning an Waste Management

. . . and possibly
08 88 00 Special Function Glazing
09 94 00 Decorative Finishing
09 97 00 Special Coatings

UG-- this Section is awfully complete and it may cover the added topics you mention.

Goes so far as to set out Green Pastry Council credits.

Actually it is rather amazing what can all be "specified" in regard to the simple donut [doughnut]

Donut is preferred in the PRM, being the shorter of the two spellings.

By the way, PRM means "Pastry Resource Menu", for those new to this forum.

I sent this section to our project managers for comment, and got back a request to add submittals for mix design and slump test results on the filling material.

Somehow I find the thought conveyed by the phrase "Green Pastry Council" to be less than appetizing.

Getting back to the original request for MasterFormat number.........

Ralph,

Wouldn't the proper MF'04 number be "0"?

Actually, if the perforated pastry units were to be furnished as part of a project meeting requirement, then it should be included under the 01 31 19 number sequence.

I served on the Institute Education Committee with Bob Hockaday (who is from Hawaii). I remember him telling a story about an architect there who specified that a luau for the project team had to be held as part of the project closeout!

The late Fred Tilp, one of the very first members of CSI, used to include a chill recipe along with the cold weather requirements for concrete.

He was always a fun guy to be around.

OK, this one's serious. Suggestions, please, for the Division and Section that a Knox-Box (High security Industrial/Government Key Box) should be specified. My immediate thought is 087916.

Evidently, there is also Section 104116 Emergency Access (or Key) Cabinet. That might make the fire marshall happier.

Lynn,

You should start a new thread on this one.

Since Knox-Boxes are a small commodity piece, I specify them in 087100 - Door Hardware. I can't imagine figuring out enough verbiage to make a separate section.

Anonymous: I agree - it's something I learned as high school newspaper editor. However, since more jurisdictions are demanding these, I'm wondering if a one page section that would show up in the Table of Contents wouldn't make more sense.

Perhaps it would fall under "Fire Command Center Specialties," and could include storage cabinets for building plans and other fire services-mandated items.

As usual, I'm behind again, but like Lynn we put the Knox box in 104116 Fire Department Key Box.

Section 10 41 16?

A whole spec Section for a 4" x 5" x 3" metal box with a specially-keyed door?

It's practically overkill to have an article in the door hardware spec devoted to it, but that's how I handle it.

Remember, Masterformat is for specifications and not for data filing. Some day there may be a CSI-produced format for data filing.
