Green Building Specifications for Sustainable Development

Authored by seasoned construction professionals, UDA Green Building Specifications provide detailed definitions of construction methods, materials and finishes that should be included with every construction contract to fully define the scope of your agreement and reduce misunderstandings between contractors, owners, buyers and building officials. Packed with over 300 categories of conventional and 74 categories of green building specs based on the CSI MasterFormat, UDA Construction Specifications make it easy to ensure clear communication with your customers, suppliers, and subcontractors.

Designed for both conventional and green building projects, UDA Green Building Specifications include over 490 pages of green building materials and methods to inform you and your project team of the best-case practices used in environmental friendly and sustainable construction.

Designed for Real World Construction using the CSI Masterformat

UDA Green Building Specifications give you the tools to easily create professional quality construction specifications without spending hours wading through 100's of categories of nonapplicable options. For convenience, we have assigned classification codes that correspond, whenever possible, with the section headings and numbering system of the Construction Specifications Institute's Masterformat. UDA Green Building Specifications also include tables which can be filled-in to reference specific plan and finish schedule notes, (such as window or door types) to tie your contracts, specifications and construction plans together.
