Find CSI Product Reps
When you choose to work with a CSI Product Representative, you’re partnering with a professional who is committed to the standards, ethics, and knowledge base of the Construction Specifications Institute. CSI reps bring more than just product expertise—they understand specifications, MasterFormat® divisions, construction processes, and how their products integrate into the larger project. Unlike non-member reps, CSI Product Representatives are part of a professional community that prioritizes education, collaboration, and accountability. This means you can count on them to provide accurate technical information, support design intent, and help reduce risk in the construction process. Simply put, a CSI rep isn’t just selling a product—they’re helping deliver better buildings. Please contact Kevin Phillips if you are a CSI member, product rep in the Central New York area who is interested in being listed below.
