APPENDIX C
The OmniClass™ Development Committee

The purpose of this appendix is to illustrate the broad participation and input into the various OmniClass™ specification structures.¹

The OmniClass™ structure development depends on 100-percent volunteer effort and relies entirely on the input of interested contributors from every corner of the construction and facilities management industries. The intent is the creation of a valuable resource that will make their work, and the work of their colleagues, more organized and better coordinated for many years to come.
