CSI provides members with resources for success, as well as exceptional networking opportunities. With buildings going up faster and faster we must rely on written and graphic communication to avoid litigation and ensure that nothing falls through the cracks. Never before has the industry had such a critical need for well-trained professionals. Never before has CSI offered so many opportunities for training – many from your very own computer!
Everyone in construction knows about the 16 Divisions. But do you know about the organization that created the 16 Divisions? Membership in The Construction Specifications Institute will enable you to shrink the challenges of today’s operating environment down to size. Since 1948, we’ve been meeting the industry’s need for a common system and language to organize, standardize, and communicate construction information. CSI has been the industry leader in fulfilling this goal through education and through the development of technical support products to write specifications such as MasterFormat™, UniFormat™, and SectionFormat™. For uniformity in construction drawings CSI developed the Uniform Drawing System™.
