Uniclass2, the classification for the Construction Industry
Published by Construction Project Information (CPI), Uniclass is a vital part of the industry and is helping to reduce costs and waste.
To help you get to grips with Uniclass and the proposals for unifying Uniclass, CPI and NBS hosted two seminars, explaining Uniclass and its implications on the construction industry.
The aim was to help delegates to a greater understanding of:
- What Uniclass is
- The implications of Uniclass on you and the industry
- The benefits of implementing Uniclass
