Method for mapping elements of a construction project

A computer-aided method, comprising:

• receiving, at a computer system, first data that are indicative of a classification of an element of a construction project according to a first classification standard and second data that are associated with the first data, the second data indicative of a label that is descriptive of the element, the label being one of a plurality of predetermined labels;
• applying, by the computer system, a filtering rule based on the label;
• and
• automatically mapping the element to a unique classification of a second classification standard based on the first data and the second data and a result of applying the filtering rule,
• wherein the classification in accordance with the first classification standard corresponds to a plurality of classifications in accordance with the second classification standard, the plurality of classifications including the unique classification.

A computer-aided method, comprising:

• using a process in execution on a processor of a computer system, generating a first data file including first data indicative of a classification of an element of a construction project, the classification being in accordance with the UniFormat classification standard, the first data file further including second data associated with the first data, the second data indicative of at least a label that is descriptive of the element, and the at least a label being other than in accordance with the Uniformat classification standard;
• implementing, in a mapping module in execution on the processor of the computer system, filtering rules based on the at least a label;
• and
• accessing implemented filtering rules, and responsive to the first data and the second data and the implemented filtering rules, automatically mapping the element to a unique number and title of the MasterFormat classification standard.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-readable instructions for implementing a method, the method comprising:

• generating a first data file including first data indicative of a classification of an element of a construction project, the classification being in accordance with the UniFormat classification standard, the first data file further including second data associated with the first data, the second data indicative of at least a label that is descriptive of the element, and the at least a label being other than in accordance with the Uniformat classification standard;
• implementing filtering rules based on the at least a label;
• and
• accessing implemented filtering rules, and responsive to the first data and the second data and the implemented filtering rules, automatically mapping the element to a unique number and title of the MasterFormat classification standard.
