Welcome to the Building Stone Institute Web site. Founded in
1919, Building Stone Institute is a not-for-profit trade
association dedicated to serving its member firms while at the
same time educating consumers on the uses and benefits of
natural stone. For nearly 90 years, BSI has worked on behalf
of the quarries, fabricators, dealers, importers, exporters,
carvers, restorers, designers, and installers that comprise
our membership.
Our work takes on a multi-faceted approach. First, we
continually strive to provide programs and resources that
enable our member companies to offer the highest level of
quality products and services. Second, we work with the
architectural and design communities ensuring that they are
well versed on the applications, both structural and
aesthetic, of natural stone. Finally, we create materials
designed to communicate to the end user the various benefits
of designing their projects with stone.
Through this approach we are able to support our members
efforts to continually increase the quality of service,
quality of products, and demand for stone. We hope you find
our site to be informative about the organization, and we hope
that it will provide answers to questions you may have.
BSI is a proud member of the National Stone Council and U.S.
Green Building Council. Genuine Stone and the Genuine Stone
seal are trademarks of the Natural Stone Council.
