The Mechanical Contractors Association of America disagrees with the Construction Specifications Institute's proposed change to the MasterFormat(tm) specifications system; specifically, the elimination of Division 15 and 16 formats.
In a letter to CSI, MCAA President Robert W. Fitzgerald said, "We fear that the proposed changes to MasterFormat will in fact promote far greater fragmentation in project administration and delivery, leading to disputes and other negative outcomes, to the detriment of the owner."
