WELCOME TO CROSSWALK
Digitally Connecting
Construction Industry Standards
Brought to You by CSI
The Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) created and maintains industry standards MasterFormat, UniFormat, and OmniClass.
Dedicated to the continuous development of standards and formats, CSI developed Crosswalk to advance the digital transformation of the construction industry. Crosswalk is the first tool to deliver digital access to standards created by CSI.
Through an enterprise-grade application programming interface (API), Crosswalk connects to your software to deliver construction classification standards directly into your project workflows. Crosswalk was developed to further the digital transformation of the construction industry, enhance access to essential standards, and streamline project management. In October 2022, the product suite was expanded with Crosswalk with Add-ins for Microsoft Excel and Word, Procore and Revit that allows users to search MasterFormat, UniFormat, and OmniClass numbers and titles and “crosswalk” between standards within their documents.
