ABSTRACT
CI/SfB System ~ a coded filing system for the classification and storing of building information and data. It was created in Sweden
under the title of Samarbetskommitte .. n fo
.. r Byggnadsfra¦gor and was
introduced into this country in 1961 by the RIBA. In 1968 the CI
(Construction Index) was added to the system which is used nationally and recognised throughout the construction industry.
The system consists of five sections called tables which are subdivided by a series of letters or numbers and these are listed in the CI/SfB index book to which reference should always be made in
the first instance to enable an item to be correctly filed or retrieved.
