Introduction to ASTM Uniformat II Elemental Classification System

Uniformat II Classification
There are seven (7) Major Group Elements in the Standard, which are divided into four (4) levels:
 
Uniformat II Classification – Major Group Elements
1. A SUBSTRUCTURE
This category includes all work below the lowest floor construction (usually slab-ongrade) and the enclosing horizontal and vertical elements required to form a basement, together with the necessary mass excavation and backfill.
 
2. B SHELL
This category includes the building envelope superstructure and roofing.
 
3. C INTERIORS
This category includes interior construction, staircases, and interior finishes.
 
4. D SERVICES
This category includes conveying systems, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, fire protection, and life safety system.
 
5. E EQUIPMENT & FURNISHINGS
This category includes ancillary support equipment which are typically program requirements such as washer, dryer, other appliances, hoists, parking control equipment, loading dock equipment, etc.
 
6. F SPECIAL CONSTRUCTION & DEMOLITION
This category includes special structures such as air supported structures, preengineered structures, vaults, underground storage tanks, etc.
 
7. G BUILDING SITEWORK & UTILITIES
This category includes all site elements/systems such as roadways, parking lots, curbs, underground supply piping, landscaping, site furnishings, etc.
 
Additional Classifications
1. H RECOMMENDED STUDIES
This category includes general requirements such as administration, additional studies, and investigations.
