Division 08 addresses which element?

Division 08 addresses which element?

• A. Finishes
• B. Openings
• C. Special Construction
• D. Masonry

Answer: (B)

This question tests how MasterFormat divisions organize building elements, specifically which division covers openings in walls. Division 08 is Openings, which includes doors, door frames, hardware, windows, skylights, and related components that form and enclose usable spaces. It’s the best fit because it directly groups the elements that define and service building openings, rather than interior finishes, masonry materials, or nonstandard assemblies. Finishes relate to surface treatments, masonry covers brick or block, and Special Construction handles unique or nonstandard assemblies, so they don’t match openings.
