"Using the wrong classification system is like trying to order sushi in a French bakery - you might get something, but it probably won’t be what you were looking for." If you work internationally, then this latest article may be for you. In the world of specifications, classification systems like CAWS, Uniclass & CSI MasterFormat aren’t just frameworks - they’re the backbone of a successful project. We explore some of the more well known classifications and how to navigate them, and why tools like NBS Chorus and ArchifySpec are essential to bridging the gaps.

🚧 Think Global, Specify Local: Cracking the Construction Classification Code 🌍 Imagine trying to order a meal in a foreign language without a phrasebook or google translate - you'll give it a go but you may not get what you actually want, right? That’s exactly what navigating global specification classification systems feels like. CAWS, Uniclass, CSI MasterFormat and beyond - each one organises information differently. So, what are the key differences, and what should you be paying attention to? In our latest article, we unravel the world of global specification classifications. From understanding diverse standards to bridging terminology gaps (hello, lifts vs. elevators) and leveraging tools like NBS Chorus and ArchifySpec, we’ll help you decode the chaos, speak the right language, and steer clear of costly mistakes. 💬 Feel free to share your experiences of specifying internationally?
