Friday was a beautiful day in California! Karyn Beebe, P.E., LEED AP, of the International Code Council and Melissa Sanchez, S.E., LEED AP of ICC Evaluation Service (ICC-ES) provided 2024 Summer MSR attendees with an update on ICC’s code development process and some of the key changes in the 2024 International Codes. They also gave attendees a deeper look into ICC-ES and the proper use of an ICC-ES evaluation report (ESR). Special thank you to both speakers!

About us
CSI (Construction Specifications Institute) is a national association dedicated to improving the documentation, management and communication of building information as used by the construction community. CSI accomplishes its mission through the development of construction standards and formats such as MasterFormat and UniFormat; the promulgation of those formats through master guide specifications and building information management (BIM) software; training and certification programs, including the Construction Documents Technology (CDT) and Certified Construction Contract Administrator (CCCA) exams; publication of Construction Specifier magazine; and an ever-expanding membership of decision-makers who identify and specify building product solutions. CSI members include a cross-section of specifiers, architects, contractors, suppliers and other construction project professionals who are touched by construction documentation.

This week I had the opportunity to learn from and connect with specifiers and manufacturers from all of the country at the annual Master Specifiers Retreat. We were lucky enough to enjoy this invaluable experience from the beautiful Seabird Resort in Oceanside California. Huge thank you to Construction Specifications Institute for putting on such a great event. I’m already looking forward to next years event!
