Element Classification Groups

Available from 6.5.0.0

Using combinations of Element Classification Groups and Element Classifications records, users can re-create the structure defined in an existing building classification system or create their own bespoke classification system.

The most prominent example of a classification system for all sectors of the UK construction industry is Uniclass 2015 but there are similar ones such as Omniclass and UniFormat in the U.S. and Canada.

For example, a Uniclass system for roofs is arranged in groups with subgroups which are sub divided, which leads to the final object code. For instance:

Code	Name/Description	MRI Evolution Classification Level
SS_30	Roof, floor and paving systems	Element Classification Group
SS_30_10	Pitched, arched and domed roof structure systems	Element Classification - Level 1 - Parent
SS_30_10_30	Framed roof structure systems	Element Classification - Level 2 - Child
SS_30_10_30_25	Heavy steel roof framing systems	Element Classification - Level 3 - Grandchild

Element Classification Groups and Element Classifications can be linked to existing Asset Classification records.

The list of Element Classification Groups are maintained here.
