CSI Membership Grows Your Knowledge and Builds Your Network

CSI membership meets you where you are and where you’re going as a project delivery professional. You’re part of a community that elevates your profession and innovates across all aspects of the industry. 

Specifications are baked into every construction project, translating design into reality. And while “Specifications” is part of our name, CSI is a lot more than specifications – it’s about construction communication, project management, and contract management for today’s dynamic environment. 

CSI members make an impact. They’re equipped to bring projects to life, lead the industry, and move us toward a future that is technologized, diverse, and global.

              "CSI is a support network. CSI is a set of resources. CSI is a set of contacts. It’s a community of likeminded individuals that are trying to reach the same goal. And the goals that we’re all trying to reach is to try to get it right, be that design, be it construction, be it manufacturing, we’re trying to do it better." 
                           

               -Kathryn Marek, CSI, CCCA®
