CCS®

A Certified Construction Specifier (CCS^®) is a skilled product researcher who knows how to investigate and identify cost-effective, efficient solutions, and then communicate those solutions through the specifications. Achieving your CCS means:

• Developing an in-depth understanding of agreements, conditions of the contract, Division 01, and their relationships to specifications
• Having advanced skills in specification development, enabling you to use spec-writing software more effectively
• Understanding how to research and source products

After passing the CCS exam, you may use the designation "CCS" after your name, on LinkedIn, business cards and your resume — and proudly share your digital badge.
