Which Division in MasterFormat is typically used for interior finishes?

• A. Division 01 General Requirements
• B. Division 03 Concrete
• C. Division 09 Finishes
• D. Division 15 Mechanical

Answer: (C)

MasterFormat organizes construction information by divisions, with interior finishes grouped together under Division 09 Finishes. This division covers all surfaces and treatments applied to interior spaces, such as drywall and plaster, tile and flooring, paint and wall coverings, and ceiling systems. Keeping interior finishes in Division 09 helps designers and contractors clearly separate finish work from structure and building services, making specs easier to read and follow. The other divisions represent different parts of the project: Division 01 General Requirements handles project-wide tasks and administration; Division 03 Concrete covers structural concrete; Division 15 Mechanical deals with mechanical systems like heating and ventilation.
