OmniClass® is a comprehensive classification system for the construction industry. OmniClass can be used for many applications, such as filing physical materials or organizing project information, but its chief application is to provide a classification structure for electronic databases and software, enriching the information used in those resources. OmniClass incorporates other extant systems currently in use as the basis of two of its Tables – MasterFormat® for Table 22 - Work Results and UniFormat® for Table 21 - Elements.
OmniClass provides a method for classifying the full built environment through the full project life cycle.
