Updates to existing tables

Full details of these and other changes are detailed in the revisions sheets and the Excel change log.

Continuing input and feedback

Between updates, we liaise regularly with a growing number of individuals and organizations, using the tables in order to provide support and to evaluate requests for new codes. We are grateful to all of the organizations that we have worked with for their input. As we share details of this activity, industry professionals can learn more about who else is using the tables, what purposes they are using them for, the range of changes to expect and the reasons for those changes.

The work of maintaining and enhancing Uniclass 2015 to continually support the needs of those operating in the built environment is an ongoing exercise. We welcome comment and input from all sectors in the construction industry via [email protected].
