CSI Membership -- Join. Connect. Engage. Advance

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.

What does it cost to join CSI?

All memberships include a membership to a home chapter. Emerging Professional membership is limited to three years, at which time members must renew at the Professional level.

Dues includes cost of regular CSI Ohio Valley chapter meetings.
