Welcome to CSI Ohio Valley (Formerly CSI Cincinnati)
"Serving the Southern Ohio Design/Construction Community"
The Ohio Valley Chapter of CSI (The Construction Specifications Institute) is in its seventh decade of serving the Southern Ohio design/construction community. With our diversified membership base of allied professionals, CSI is the place to be to share ideas and practices. We have no hierarchy of membership. All members of the design/construction community enjoy equal status in CSI making networking easy and enjoyable. But we do more than provide networking – expect high-quality education programs and events that help members share real-world solutions and better understand the roles and responsibilities of each member of the construction team.
