Procurement Requirements and Contracting Requirements, referred to in MasterFormat 95 as the "Zero Series Numbers and Titles" and now included in Division 00, are used to define relationships, processes, and responsibilities for projects.

This is an important legal distinction. My firm refers to items in Div 00 as 'Document xx xx xx' and the TOC clearly identifies 'Sections' in Divisions 01 and following as specifications to clarify this distinction that was inherent in MF95.

And some of these are forms, or things like table of contents. Those are not specification "sections", they are documents. William C.

Anyone who has ever dealt with the Owner's world in Division 00 knows there is never a "DocumentFormat". George A. Everding AIA CSI CCS CCCA Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies St. Louis, MO
