| The Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) was founded in March 1948 by the specification writers of government agencies who came together to improve the quality of construction specification so that it could meet the demands of the post-war construction boom. Development of specifications best practices, promulgating standards/formats, professional education, and certification were cornerstones of the Institute.

| The National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) originally began as Women in Construction of Fort Worth, Texas. It was founded in 1953 by 16 women working in the construction industry. Knowing that women represented only a small fraction of the construction industry, the founders organized NAWIC to create a support network. NAWIC has a membership of more than 4,500 and approximately 167 chapters, with chapters in almost every U.S. state. In NAWIC's years of service to its membership, it has advanced the causes of all women in construction, from tradeswomen to business owners.
