The library structure.

Masterspec libraries are structures along the Co-ordinated Building Information (CBI) system that Masterspec administers for the construction industry. CBI co-ordinates the five main information sources: drawings; specifications; quantities; technical and research information; trade information and publications. CBI also takes account of the local construction industry's customs and practices, is numeric and can operate at up to four levels.

Every library is divided into 8 classes representing the fundamental subdivisions of the building industry. These are:

Level 1 General Level 2 Site
Level 3 Structure Level 4 Enclosure
Level 5 Interior Level 6 Finish
Level 7 Services Level 8 External
