OmniClass for Buildertrend

OmniClass for Buildertrend

Using Buildertrend? You need OmniClass classifications to organize cost codes, track submittals, and structure project documentation.

The Construction Standard provides licensed OmniClass access through CSI Dynamic Standards — with current classifications for Buildertrend integration.

How Buildertrend Users Need OmniClass

Buildertrend users need OmniClass to organize cost codes by classification tables, structure submittal logs using OmniClass organization, track RFIs and change orders by classification, and build project templates aligned with OmniClass.

The Problem with Hardcoded OmniClass Data in Buildertrend

Many Buildertrend users try to embed OmniClass classifications directly into Buildertrend. This creates problems:

• Buildertrend templates with stale data — OmniClass is updated regularly by CSI; templates with hardcoded classifications from older editions propagate errors across every project
• No edition tracking — When OmniClass updates, Buildertrend users don't know which templates need updating or what changed
• Coordination failures — When different Buildertrend users reference different OmniClass editions, coordination breaks down

Licensed OmniClass Access for Buildertrend Users

The Construction Standard provides licensed access to OmniClass through CSI Dynamic Standards. Buildertrend users get:

• Always-current classifications — Look up current OmniClass classifications before creating templates, know which edition applies to your project, and see what changed between editions
• Cross-references — Cross-reference OmniClass to MasterFormat sections (for coordination) and connect OmniClass to UniFormat elements (for design coordination)
• Searchable lookup — Search by table number, code, or keyword, browse the full OmniClass hierarchy, and bookmark frequently-used classifications for Buildertrend work
