The Overall Construction Classification System (OCCS) is envisioned
as a common standard using consistent terminology to classify all
aspects of the process used for constructing and sustaining the built
environment -- from conception through demolition. The OCCS will be
free and available to all public and private construction industry
organizations. Input is currently needed from professionals from
every phase of construction. The website, www.occsnet.org, is up and
running and ready for participants to log on, gain insight and help
with the system's development. Existing classification systems are
also requested for comparison and possible incorporation into the
OCCS.

Institute at (800) 689-2900, or visit http://www.csinet.org or
