How does The Blue Book insure that its classifications remain current with todays construction industry?
In order to make The Blue Book better for buyers and sellers, the Editorial Department conducts “Classification Oversight” on a daily basis. This process involves identifying obsolete classification titles and developing new classifications. The reviewing and researching of classifications is carried out by collecting information from industry directories and publications, examining Internet websites, conducting provider and user surveys and participating in national trade shows. The Editorial Department maintains an extensive ongoing category file of discontinued as well as underdeveloped and potential classification title areas.
