The collaboration between CSI and the NCEMBT will result in standards for terminology that will be commonly used throughout the entire lifecycle of the built environment in North America in project delivery, operations, and management.
The Construction Taxonomy Project will establish a standard lexicon of terms used in the construction industry with the ultimate goal being the creation of a consensus standard for American English construction terminology. Currently, no such definitive lexicon exists.
The facilitation of standard terminology will assist in the process of coordinating documents and facilitating the transmittal of information required in all construction activity. The taxonomy project will adapt by defining industry terminology as the field advances along with technology.
