In an effort to better integrate specifications, building products, and building information modeling (BIM), CSI<\/a> has announced Project Dynamo, an initiative that will expand the association\u2019s standard organizing principles\u2014MasterFormat and UniFormat\u2014to work more effectively with BIM and support the digital needs of design and construction professionals.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe focus of the effort is to ensure that data is accurate, timely, and available when and where it is needed throughout the lifecycle of a project,\u201d said Mark Dorsey, CEO of CSI. \u201cCSI Project Dynamo will consult with subject-matter experts, industry associations, and Construction Specifications Canada to create the pathway towards improved workflow and better organization of information to ensure we keep pace with the rapidly evolving digital world and meet diverse industry needs.\u201d<\/p>\n

CSI Project Dynamo is a pilot program to expand the North American MasterFormat, UniFormat, and Omniclass standards for organizing construction information by creating a more robust connection between the standards and BIM objects.<\/p>\n

\u201cCSI is founded on the principle of working across the spectrum of a project\u2014from ownership, through design to construction and facility management\u2014and serving the industry by meeting those broad and inter-connected needs,\u201d said Ron Geren, FCSI, CSI board chair. \u201cBecause of this interdisciplinary approach, CSI can ensure the capabilities envisioned for this project serve the entire industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
