OmniClass for PlanSwift

Using PlanSwift? The Construction Standard provides licensed OmniClass access through CSI Dynamic Standards — with classifications for PlanSwift integration.

OmniClass for PlanSwift

Using PlanSwift? You need OmniClass classifications to build cost databases, organize line items, and structure estimates.

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

How PlanSwift Users Need OmniClass

PlanSwift users need OmniClass to organize cost databases by classification structure, map line items to OmniClass classifications, build estimates that align with lifecycle costing, and generate reports organized by OmniClass.

The Problem with Hardcoded OmniClass Data in PlanSwift

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

  • PlanSwift 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, PlanSwift users don't know which templates need updating or what changed
  • Coordination failures — When different PlanSwift users reference different OmniClass editions, coordination breaks down

Licensed OmniClass Access for PlanSwift Users

The Construction Standard provides licensed access to OmniClass through CSI Dynamic Standards. PlanSwift 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 PlanSwift work
