Today, The Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) announced the purchase of Building Systems Design (BSD). See http://www.csinet.org/bsdpr for the press release.
This means that CSI now owns a master specification product, Speclink. This is the first commercial construction specification system CSI has owned. CSI traditionally has concentrated on developing formats used for organizing construction data rather than software and text to produce construction specifications.
