MARKHAM, ONT. — The Canadian Institute of Steel Construction (CISC) recently announced it has reached an agreement with the Canadian Sheet Steel Building Institute (CSSBI) to integrate the Canadian sheet steel construction sectors within the CISC.
The agreement is effective Jan. 15. A release explained the integration will see the Canadian sheet steel construction sector join forces with the structural steel, steel bridge, steel plate and miscellaneous steel construction sectors. The sheet steel construction industry includes commercial and residential steel roofing, structural roof deck and composite floor deck, steel siding and cladding, steel studs and joists, and steel building systems.
“The CISC is looking forward to expanding the voice and strength of Canada’s steel construction industry with the addition of this very important sector,” said Todd Collister, chairman of the CISC and director of technical services at Supreme Group, in a statement. “This further builds on the CISC’s efforts to advance the use and benefits of steel construction, showcase steel’s design and environmental advantages, and to advocate for the Canadian steel construction supply chain, their employees and their families.”
Paul Lobb, president and chair of CSSBI and president of Vicwest Building Products, stated, “CSSBI remains committed to its mission to advance sheet steel as the most durable and reliable building material in the market, and to be the leading source for technical information and support to the general public and sheet steel manufacturers alike. We are excited about the strategic opportunities with the CISC.”
