Construction Specification Institute (CSI) is a national association of commercial-level construction professionals dedicated to improving construction communication through:

• Developing standards & formats, including MasterFormat 2004 and GreenFormat

• Certifying professionals who work with construction documentation

• Offering continuing education for professionals affected by construction documentation

CSI is unique in the industry in that its members are a cross section of architects, engineers, designers, specifiers, contractors, owners, facility managers, building materials suppliers, and others who are touched by construction documentation.

The Mt. Rainier Chapter 

• Who are we? Everyone! (in Construction)

• What do we do? Everything (in Construction)

• Don't call us Spec Writers - we are so much more than specifications!

• We synchronize our talents and share our knowledge.

• We are equipped to build something extraordinary.

Knowledge is Half the Battle!

We are happy to share the Portland Chapter's newest contribution: Vendor Directory

Here's a blurb from their website:
We are publishing a little project we have been working on during the last months. We thought it would be great to emulate what used to be a directory of all the vendors that are members of the Portland Chapter. Vendors are such a critical part of our chapter, active in many committees and supporting us in anything we do. So, mostly Russell from WindowTech, put together what can now be found here. We are hoping this opens the opportunity to renewed connections between our members and broadens what the Portland CSI Chapter can do specifically for our members who are or represent manufacturers.
