Founded in 1948, CSI is a national not-for-profit association of more than 6,000 members dedicated to improving the communication of construction information throughout continuous development and transformation of standards and formats, education and certification of professionals to improve project delivery processes. CSI members work tirelessly to effectively communicate the designers’ vision, the material producers’ solutions and the constructors’ techniques to create outstanding facilities that meet facility owners’ objectives.

CSI is dedicated to improving the communication of construction information through:

• A diversified membership base of allied professionals involved in the creation and management of the built environment. Join us!
• Continuous development and transformation of standards and formats.
• Education and certification of professionals to improve project delivery processes.
• Creation of practice tools to assist users throughout the facility life-cycle.

CSI’s Mission is to advance building information management and education of project teams to improve facility performance.

Over the past two years, the Affiliation Agreement required by the Institute for the Chapters and Regions forced some changes in how we operate and unfortunately also resulted in losing a number of chapters around the country. In our Region, the Maine Chapter dissolved and members in that area have been merged into the New Hampshire Chapter – renamed Northern New England. Compliance with the terms may force some additional mergers.

CSI’s Key Programs include its CERTIFICATIONS, LOCAL CHAPTERS, EDUCATION focusing on the roles and responsibilities of the project team, and STANDARDS that guide the construction industry communication and documentation.

This is a time of change for both our industry and our Institute. How we navigate that change will determine the success of CSI and our members in creating a better built environment.

Our CSI Institute Director from the Northeast Region, Tom Lanzelotti, CSI, CDT, AIA, will give us an update on CSI’s current initiatives and what it means for the industry, the Institute, the Regions, your local chapter and most importantly – YOU.
