This document is intended to serve as a general guideline for Standard Cost Code setup for a small to mid-size General Contractor. Its purpose is to provide a standard list to import into Job Cost, for tracking historical costs a reasonable level of detail, useful for cost control and project management. Use CSI Masterformat 2010 for creating new codes when needed. It should be noted that Masterformat is designed as the standard for Project Specification writing. It has been adopted by General Contractors as a basis for historical job cost reporting as it is industry standard, providing both an organizational scheme and a numeric index for construction work. Substantial departures from literal adoption are required in order to more accurately describe the General Contractor's job requirements. Division 01 is the most arbitrary, with furthest divergence from Masterformat 2010. Each company views these costs differently, and is encouraged to modify as needed. Due diligence should be made however to reasonably adhere to the MF '10's intent and numbering scheme. Some General Conventions of this list: -->XX-0010 code is "Operation & Maintenance" for work within that Division. Use as required for any Division. -->XX-0050 code is "Common Work Results" for work within that Division, and is renamed to the Division title, (as Master Builder doesn't require Division titles). Use for summary activity for the Division, as well as for Division-level Subcontracted work. It is shaded blue to provide visual separation for each Division. -->MF '10 numbering convention increments its Level 4 codes "xx13, xx-xx23", etc. In our experience "xx10, xx20" is more intuitive and easier for the field to code correctly. We've made this change throughout the document. -->MF '10 level 2 codes, the most summary level following Division Codes, are shaded pale yellow to identify summary level codes. The most detailed codes are suggested in Divisions 01, 03, 06, where traditional GC's are likely to self-perform work. For smaller jobs, specific projects, and for companies who won't self-perform, use the summary codes instead. Divisions 41-45 excluded due to Industrial nature of Work. See Division Numbers & Titles page for definitions if required.
