The classification was designed to meet the following additional requirements:

Applies to any building type, although it is designed for commercial buildings.


Allows specific details required for describing specialized buildings.
Separates the classification of building elements from the classification of building related site-work.
Relates to other elemental classifications such as the original UNIFORMAT and those of the Canadian
Institute of Quantity Surveyors (CIQS) and the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS-UK).

UNIFORMAT II is not intended to classify elements of major civil works. Buildings, however, are usually
accompanied by roads, utilities, parking areas and other non-building features. The UNIFORMAT II
classification of building-related site-work is provided for exclusive use in support of construction of buildings so
users do not have to resort to multiple elemental classifications for what is primarily a buildings project.

The classification was designed to meet the following additional requirements:

Applies to any building type, although it is designed for commercial buildings.


Allows specific details required for describing specialized buildings.
Separates the classification of building elements from the classification of building related sitework.
Relates to other elemental classifications such as the original UNIFORMAT and those of the
Canadian Institute of Quantity Surveyors (CIQS) and the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors
(RICS-UK).

UNIFORMAT II is not intended to classify elements of major civil works. Buildings, however, are usually
accompanied by roads, utilities, parking areas and other non-building features. The UNIFORMAT II
classification of building-related site-work is provided for exclusive use in support of construction of
buildings so users do not have to resort to multiple elemental classifications for what is primarily a
buildings project.

Introduction Facility Class


The facility condition assessment should include a complete visual assessment of all architectural,
civil/structural, mechanical, and electrical components of each facility. Perform the field assessment
should be performed using both a system and component assessment method to identify all
maintenance and repair deficiencies that need correction. The engineer/engineering technician
should determine if there is sufficient evidence to warrant complete replacement of a system versus
repairing only system parts (e.g. replacing all the windows in a facility versus repairing some only
windows, or replacing the entire floor covering rather than only repairing only certain parts).
Utilize a systematic approach to visual assessments to document all revealed problems. Some
deficiencies announce themselves, such as a steam leaks or ponding on a roof. However, many
deficiencies are more subtle and will require further examination. During the assessment, the
engineer/engineering technician should thoroughly document the information that will be needed in
the preparation of cost estimates and assessment reports. At a minimum, record the following for
each deficiency:

Specify the corrective action with the appropriate verb (e.g. repair, replace, prepare and
paint, realign, adjust, remove).

Define the deficiency (e.g. cracked window, leaking steam valve packing, missing door
hinge, corroded metal window frame).

Provide location data (e.g. northeast corner of lower roof, in room 123, or in main lobby at
the reception desk).

Quantify data in sufficient detail to permit later development of budget level cost
estimates (e.g. 120 linear feet of 4 steel conduit, or 220 square feet, or 7 each). It is
helpful to determine approximate sizes and types of dynamic equipment such as boilers,
chillers, and pumps.

Note: The results of the visual assessment are not intended be used for capacity planning,
environmental design, etc. If these topics are of particular interest, perform specialized assessments
and analyses.
The following document will provide guidance for the building assessments. At the beginning of each
section, a list of life-cycle estimates will be provided for actions ranging from recurring maintenance
tasks to major system replacements. The life-cycle estimates assume that each component will
experience normal wear-and-tear and that proper maintenance and repair is provided over the life
cycle. Use these estimates as general guidance, noting any deviation based on local conditions or
facility usage as described below.
In some cases, local conditions may alter the life-cycle estimates. For example, under normal
circumstances an electric water heater has an estimated ten-year service life. If the local area has
poor water quality due to high levels of particulate, the expectation might be to replace the water
heaters every five years. The life-cycle estimates may also require alteration due to the different
levels of activity within specific facility usage types. For example, the interior finishes (e.g. paint,
carpet, wallpaper, etc.) in a terminal will likely require replacement more frequently than the finishes
in an administrative building with little traffic. Once again, use the life-cycle estimates as general
guidance and make note of any deviation.

In addition to gathering deficiency information during the field assessment phase, the
engineer/engineering technician will gather and/or verify information associated with systems and
their components.

Buildings
Facility Category Buildings is comprised of various different components within the Uniformat II work
breakdown structure (WBS). The authors of the assessment guidance have made a concerted effort
to include every applicable component from the Uniformat II WBS that may be associated with
buildings, thereby producing a self-contained guidance document. The primary systems for buildings
are found in the following Uniformat sections: A - Substructure, B - Shell, C - Interiors, D - Services, E
- Equipment and Furnishings, and F - Special Construction & Demolition.
The assessment guidance for the following subsystems within G - Building Site work is published
separately in various Facility Categories: G10 - Site Preparations, G20 - Site Improvements, G30 Site Mechanical Utilities, G40 - Site Electrical Utilities, and G90 - Other Site Construction.

Substructure

This system includes all work below the lowest floor construction (usually slab-on-grade) and the
enclosing horizontal and vertical elements required to form a basement, together with the necessary
mass excavation and backfill.

A1010 Standard Foundations


Lead-Based Paint: About two-thirds of facilities built before 1940 and one-half of facilities
built from 1940 to 1960 contain heavily leaded paint. Some facilities built after 1960 also
contain heavily leaded paint. It may be on any interior or exterior surface, particularly on
woodwork, doors, and windows. In 1978, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
lowered the legal maximum lead content in most kinds of paint. Formal lead-based paint
assessments require specific equipment and training beyond the scope of a normal condition
assessment. Since the assessments are non-invasive, there is little chance of disturbing any
existing lead-based paint during an assessment. However, when maintenance and repair
scenarios involve the disturbance of the contaminated material (such as removing walls,
doors, and windows; refinishing doors and windows; scrapping paint; etc.), a subsequent cost
factor will determine the need for containing, handling and disposing of the contaminated
material. Facilities constructed before 1980 should be tested for lead if any paint face shows
signs of deterioration or before any renovation that would disturb painted surfaces.

Checks to be made:
1. Exterior surface
Deteriorated paint/waterproofing
Deteriorated/missing caulking
Loose vents
2. Interior surface
Evidence of moisture intrusion
3. Vent screen
Frames - binding, jamming, or poor fit

A1030 Slab on Grade


A slab poured on earth, whether on undisturbed soil or fill soil. Concrete bases may be nonreinforced or reinforced, depending on the load to be supported. Non-reinforced concrete
slabs-on-grade are cast in place and thick enough to provide required strength. Reinforced
concrete slabs-on-grade utilize welded wire mesh or reinforcing rods imbedded in the
concrete to increase resistance to tensile and shear stresses.
Non-reinforced base units may be used as pads under lightweight equipment such as
transformers or heat units, while reinforced bases may be used to support building
components, heavy equipment, etc.
Reinforced concrete pit walls and flooring are poured in place; thickness depends on angle of
repose and weight of supported structures.

Checks to be made:
1. Concrete damage
Cracking, extensive disintegration of surface
Scaling, spalling, popout, and/or vertical displacement
2. Reinforcing steel
Rusting/discoloration evident, cracks occurring parallel to reinforcement
Exposure of reinforcing steel

Checks to be made:
1. Roof Rafters, Joists, and Sheathing
Checks, splits, broken members, open joints, loose boards, sag of members,
displacement of joints, insect damage
2. Trusses-Timber
SCOPE: All types of building trusses normally designed for the express purpose
of supporting roof loads (and ceilings, where applicable). All lateral and vertical
bracing and ties between trusses are included.
From ground: twisted and bowed members; excessive number and size of
knots; slope of grain over one inch in ten; checks and splits in ends of web
members; separation or slippage at joints; sag; overloading

checks and splits in bracing, chord members, splice plates (scabs), web
members and filler blocks; missing filler blocks; looseness of tie rods
Steel splice plates: rupture, shearing, crushing, rust
Examine trusses for sagging (Truss Member Identification: Use a sketch of
the truss and label the panel points either numerically or alphabetically)
Wooden parts: dampness and prolonged surface moisture; fungus and
insect (including termite) infestation. Termite and fungus infestations are
often detected prior to actual visual damage by probing with a sharp-pointed
instrument those areas where prolonged dampness is not directly associated
with rainfall or damp climate.
Wooden supports near or at ground level: termite tubes or tunnels; dirt piled
up to wood level
Painted surfaces: blistering, checking, cracking, scaling, wrinkling, flaking,
mildew, bleeding, rust, or corrosion; complete absence of paint, particularly
at ends of members
3. Trusses-Steel
All types of building trusses normally designed for the express purpose of
supporting roof loads (and ceilings, where applicable). All lateral and vertical
bracing and ties between trusses are included.
From ground: twisted, bowed, deformed, or broken members
From truss: loose bolts, rivets, or defective welds
From truss: rupture, shearing, or crushing of steel plates, members, bolts,

B20 Exterior Closure


B2010 Exterior Walls
Lead-Based Paint: About two-thirds of facilities built before 1940 and one-half of
facilities built from 1940 to 1960 contain heavily leaded paint. Some facilities built
after 1960 also contain heavily leaded paint. It may be on any interior or exterior
surface, particularly on woodwork, doors, and windows. In 1978, the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission lowered the legal maximum lead content in most kinds of
paint. Formal lead-based paint assessments require specific equipment and training
beyond the scope of a normal condition assessment. Since the assessments are
non-invasive, there is little chance of disturbing any existing lead-based paint during
an assessment. However, when maintenance and repair scenarios involve the
disturbance of the contaminated material (such as removing walls, doors, and
windows; refinishing doors and windows; scrapping paint; etc.), a subsequent cost
factor will determine the need for containing, handling and disposing of the
contaminated material. Facilities constructed before 1980 should be tested for lead if
any paint face shows signs of deterioration or before any renovation that would
disturb painted surfaces.
In addition to gathering deficiency information for exterior walls, the
engineer/engineering technician will often gather information specific to the type of
wall. The inventory provides a single-source account of these major components
within an airport. The information inventoried should be:

factor will determine the need for containing, handling and disposing of the contaminated
material. Facilities constructed before 1980 should be tested for lead if any paint face shows
signs of deterioration or before any renovation that would disturb painted surfaces.

Introduction Facility Class


The condition assessment should include a complete visual assessment of all architectural,
civil/structural, electrical, and mechanical components where applicable. Perform the field
assessment using both a system and component assessment method to identify all maintenance
and repair deficiencies that need correction. The engineer/engineering technician should
determine if there is sufficient evidence to warrant complete replacement of a system versus
repairing only specific system parts. For example, it may be sufficient to replace sections of
irrigation piping in lieu of replacing all piping and sprinkler heads.
Utilize a systematic approach to visual assessments to document all revealed problems. Some
deficiencies announce themselves, such as a crack or spalling of concrete. However, many
deficiencies are more subtle and will require further examination. During the assessment, the
engineer/engineering technician should thoroughly document the information needed in the
preparation of cost estimates and assessment reports. At a minimum, record the following should
be recorded for each deficiency:

Specify the corrective action with the appropriate verb (e.g. repair, replace, trim, remove, and reseed).

Define the deficiency (e.g. cracked 2" PVC pipe, trim 6" tree limb 20' high, reseed 100
SF of missing grass, replace 20' of rotten planting boarder).

Provide location data (e.g. northeast irrigation system, 12" Oak tree south of main
building, or throughout seasonal planting area west of building).

Quantify data in sufficient detail to permit later development of budget level cost
estimates (e.g. 120 square yards of sod, 220 linear feet of piping, or seven each).

Note: The results of the visual assessment are not intended be used for capacity planning,
environmental design, etc. If these topics are of particular interest, perform specialized
assessments and analyses.
The following document will provide guidance for the assessment of the Maintained Landscape
class. A list of life-cycle estimates has been provided for actions ranging from recurring
maintenance tasks to major system replacements. The life-cycle estimates assume that each
component will experience normal wear-and-tear and that proper maintenance and repair is
provided over the life cycle. Use these estimates as general guidance, noting any deviation
based on local conditions or facility usage as described below.
In some cases, local conditions may alter the life-cycle estimates. The life-cycle estimates may
require alteration due to the different levels of activity. For example, airports using non-treated
water will likely require irrigation sprinkler head replacement more frequently than an airport using
treated water. Once again, use the life-cycle estimates as general guidance and make note of
any deviation.

Fencing and Gates


A fence consists of a line of posts secured to the ground and connected with railing, pickets,
planks, braces and other fence members secured in place. Check posts out of plumb by eye
sight, string line, or by transit. Wood gates are constructed with wood rails, pickets, planks,
braces and other members securely fastened into a single unit. Metal gates are fabricated with
pipe/tube framing covered with metal chain link or other woven wire mesh preformed panel or
metal laced fabric and kept in shape with wires, rods or turn buckles. Security components such
as barbed, razor or concertina wire may be installed around the top of a fence, either directly to
the posts or on a metal angle bracket attached to top of the posts.

Introduction Facility Class


The condition assessment should include a complete visual assessment of all architectural,
civil/structural, electrical, and mechanical components where applicable. Perform the field
assessment using both a system and component assessment method to identify all maintenance
and repair deficiencies that need correction. The engineer/engineering technician should
determine if there is sufficient evidence to warrant complete replacement of a system versus
repairing only system parts.
Utilize a systematic approach to visual assessments to document all revealed problems. Some
deficiencies announce themselves, such as a crack or spalling of concrete. However many
deficiencies are more subtle and will require further examination. During the assessment, the
engineer/engineering technician should thoroughly document the information needed in the
preparation of cost estimates and assessment reports. At a minimum, record the following for
each deficiency:

Specify the corrective action with the appropriate verb (e.g. repair, replace, prepare
and paint, remove).

Define the deficiency (e.g. rotted wood, damaged masonry).

Provide location data (e.g. south of building name or along/throughout entire


facility).

Quantify data in sufficient detail to permit later development of budget level cost
estimates (e.g. metal sign 4' long by 2' high, or 7 each).

Note: The results of the visual assessment are not intended be used for capacity planning,
environmental design, etc. If these topics are of particular interest, perform specialized
assessments and analyses.
The following document will provide guidance for the assessment of the Landside Sign facility
class. A list of life-cycle estimates has been provided for actions ranging from recurring
maintenance tasks to major system replacements. The life-cycle estimates assume that each
component will experience normal wear-and-tear and that proper maintenance and repair is
provided over the life cycle. Use these estimates as general guidance, noting any deviation
based on local conditions or facility usage as described below.
In some cases, local conditions may alter the life-cycle estimates. The life-cycle estimates may
require alteration due to the different levels of activity. For example, metal signs at an airport near
salt water will likely require replacement more frequently than at an airport located inland. Once
again, use the life-cycle estimates as general guidance and make note of any deviation.

The condition assessment should include a complete visual assessment of all architectural,
civil/structural, electrical, and mechanical components where applicable. Perform the field assessment
using both a system and component assessment method to identify all maintenance and repair
deficiencies that need correction. The engineer/engineering technician should determine if there is
sufficient evidence to warrant complete replacement of a system versus repairing only system parts. For
example, it may be sufficient to fill potholes in lieu of repaving whole sections.
Utilize a systematic approach to visual assessments to document all revealed problems. Some
deficiencies announce themselves, such as a crack or spalling of concrete. However, many deficiencies
are more subtle and will require further examination. During the assessment, the engineer/engineering
technician should thoroughly document the information needed in the preparation of cost estimates and
assessment reports. At a minimum, record the following for each deficiency:

Specify the corrective action with the appropriate verb (e.g. repair, replace, prepare and
paint, repave, remove).

Define the deficiency (e.g. cracked asphalt, spalling concrete, pothole in asphalt pavement,
missing gravel).

Provide location data (e.g. northeast corner of parking lot, left lane where road meets highway, or along/throughout entire facility).

Quantify data in sufficient detail to permit later development of budget level cost estimates
(e.g. 120 square yards of concrete, or 220 linear feet of markings, or seven each).

Note: The results of the visual assessment are not intended be used for capacity planning, environmental
design, etc. If these topics are of particular interest, perform specialized assessments and analyses.
The following document will provide guidance for the assessment of the Landside Pavements facility
class. A list of life-cycle estimates has been provided for actions ranging from recurring maintenance
tasks to major system replacements. The life-cycle estimates assume that each component will
experience normal wear-and-tear and that proper maintenance and repair is provided over the life-cycle.
Use these estimates as general guidance, noting any deviation based on local conditions or facility usage
as described below.
In some cases, local conditions may alter the life-cycle estimates. The life-cycle estimates may require
alteration due to the different levels of activity. For example, the paved public roads (i.e., entrance roads,
roads between parking garages, etc.) at an airport will likely require replacement more frequently than the
paved service roads. Once again, use the life-cycle estimates as general guidance and make note of any
deviation.
This assessment guide will cover the pavements that do not require security clearance to access. Many
of these facility types have a corresponding facility type under the Airfield Pavement facility class. The
two systems are separated because of the additional cost needed to cover the security personnel and
precautions that have to be taken into account when performing the maintenance.

Roads
A road is any maintained route or path designed to give motorized vehicles access from one point to
another. Public roads will commonly be designed for the use of cars, while service roads can be
designed for cars & trucks and/or smaller maintenance vehicles. The amount of traffic and initial design
work of each road will affect the design life. Public roads will be maintained at a higher level than service
roads for liability and aesthetic reasons. Some service roads are not designed for heavy usage and will
not be expected to remain as visually appealing as public roads; a continually cracking service road due
to tree roots is a good example of this. In these situations, determine the desired maintenance level
expectations of the roads.

Parking Lot
A parking lot is an area specifically designed and allocated to safely leave motorized vehicles unattended.
Parking lots are generally located close to a facility or destination area entrance. Public parking lots will
require ADA access to and from the parking lot and the facility or area it serves. A separate ADA
guidance document will be available to the engineer/engineering technician performing the necessary
ADA checks. The engineer/engineering technician will also have to assess the markings, stall bumpers,
curbs, gutters, signage, and surface material of the parking lot. The team assessing the condition of
parking lots should have an agreement on the boundaries of the facility before performing the
assessment.
