Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation (CSI-aligned, paraphrased)
In CSI’s MasterFormat® (2004 and later), the divisions are grouped approximately as:
Division 01 – General Requirements
Divisions 02–19 – Facility Construction Subgroup (sitework and building construction trades: existing conditions, concrete, masonry, metals, wood, finishes, etc.)
Divisions 20–29 – Facility Services Subgroup (mechanical, electrical, communications, fire suppression, etc.)
Divisions 30–39 – Site and Infrastructure (utilities, site improvements, transportation, etc.)
Divisions 40–49 – Process Equipment and related categories (where applicable)
The question asks what is not included in Divisions 02–49.
Concrete – is in Division 03 (in 02–49).
Finishes – are in Division 09 (in 02–49).
Utilities – are addressed in the 30s divisions such as Division 33 – Utilities and similar, clearly within 02–49.
However:
General Requirements – by CSI definition, belong to Division 01, which is outside the 02–49 range. Division 01 covers administrative and procedural requirements that apply across the technical sections.
Therefore, the item not included in Divisions 02–49 is:
