This release includes updates to six tables: Activities, Form of information, Project management, Products, Spaces/ locations and Systems.
This is the second of our quarterly updates for Uniclass in 2026. It includes improvements across six tables, a result of external input from users and internal development roadmaps. As part of the development of new content to support circular construction principles and re-use considerations, the Activities table has been extended to cover pre-demolition and pre-refurbishment auditing. Additionally, a new Project Management code has been added, ‘Design for disassembly strategy’. For consistency across all Uniclass tables, 38 codes in the Spaces/ locations table have updated to their plural from a singular form. In addition to these changes, the existing ‘Clean utility’ code has been renamed to ‘Clean utility rooms’, highlighting that it is intended for medical spaces and a new code for ‘Dirty utility rooms’ was added as an antonym following feedback from users. ‘Notification (NO)’ has been added to the Form of information table following careful consideration. This code is intended to cover all types of notifications, including but not limited to those issued for a compensation event and termination of contract as well as formal notifications of instruction or acceptance. New M&E codes have been added to the Products table to facilitate the classification of additional ventilation and pipework products. A total of 12 new classifications and 40 amended codes are included in this release, reinforcing Uniclass as a robust and evolving classification system for global application across diverse sectors and industries.
