If you want to import non-AIR construction class codes, make sure that you either include specific data for both the Construction Building field and the Construction Other Structures field in your Locations import file, or, do not map the Construction Other Structures field to a Touchstone field during the import process.

Touchstone also supports non-AIR construction and occupancy class codes, although AIR always recommends translating non-AIR codes to AIR codes wherever possible before importing your data. For more information, see Non-AIR Construction Class Codes and Non-AIR Occupancy Class Codes.
