What is the Narrow Level 3 designation for Brick Masonry?

• A. Section 04 21 13 Brick Masonry
• B. Section 04 20 00 Unit Masonry
• C. Division 04 Masonry
• D. Brick Masonry Without Section

Answer: (A)

MasterFormat organizes project specs with a hierarchical numbering system. For Masonry, Division 04 is the broad category, and the Level 3 designation zeroes in on a specific material family. Brick Masonry is assigned the code 04 21 13, with the descriptor Brick Masonry to indicate the sections that specifically cover brick masonry work. That specificity is why this is the correct designation: it identifies the exact subset within Division 04. The other options point to different concepts: 04 20 00 Unit Masonry covers unit masonry (such as blocks) rather than brick specifically; Division 04 Masonry is the broader Level 2 category, not the narrow Level 3 designation; and Brick Masonry Without Section isn’t a valid formal designation in MasterFormat.
