CCS

CCS Exam Overview

A CSI 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. Getting 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

Candidates who succeed in passing the CCS exam may use the letters "CCS" after their name, on their business cards and on their resumes.
