WHAT WE ARE MADE OF
The Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) is an individual
membership technical society whose core purpose is to improve the
process of creating and sustaining the built environment. The Institute
provides technical information and products, continuing education,
professional conferences, and product shows to enhance communication
among all disciplines of nonresidential building design and
construction and meet the industry's need for a common system of
organizing and presenting construction information.
CSI's more than 18,000 members include
architects, engineers, constructors, specifiers of construction
products, suppliers of construction products, building owners, and
facilities managers. Founded in 1948, CSI is headquartered outside
Washington in Alexandria, VA, and has 143 local chapters nationwide.
Sacramento chapter was formed in September
1954 and is the sixth chapter chartered. Often known as the "crazy guys
in the West," by the rest of CSI, we pride ourselves in our dedication
to hard work on behalf of CSI while enjoying each others fellowship.
CODE OF ETHICS
Believing that honesty and integrity, high
ideals and concern for the welfare of the construction industry are
both desirable and necessary, and in a sincere effort to promote the
mission of the Institute, members of CSI pledge themselves to:
- Establish and maintain high standards of professional conduct.
- Freely interchange information and experience with members of the construction community.
- Maintain confidentiality of privileged information.
- Avoid conflicts of interest.
- Avoid misrepresentation of products and services.
- Promote improvement of construction communications, techniques, and procedures.
