Which division is associated with Special Construction?

• A. Division 13
• B. Division 10
• C. Division 04 21 13.13
• D. Division 30-35

Answer: (A)

Special Construction is categorized under Division 13 in MasterFormat because that division is specifically titled to cover specialized, nonstandard construction elements and assemblies that don’t fit neatly into the more routine division groups. This grouping helps teams coordinate unique systems, like custom architectural features or specialized structural components, which require distinct materials, methods, and commissioning. The other options don’t fit because Division 10 covers interior specialties (like toilet partitions and signage), a single sectional code such as 04 21 13.13 is a detailed spec item within a division rather than the division itself, and a range like Division 30-35 points to site and civil/infrastructure work rather than the dedicated category for Special Construction.
