Leading the cultural shift
Celebrating 190 Years
We are the world's largest and most influential professional body for construction management and leadership.
Construction history was made in 1834 when a group of Master Builders came together in London to create The Builders’ Society. Fast-forward to today, our name may have changed, but our commitment to uphold professional standards, drive innovation and support the industry’s people remains as strong.
About us
We have a Royal Charter to promote the science and practice of building and construction for the benefit of society, and we’ve been doing that since 1834. Our members work worldwide in the development, conservation and improvement of the built environment.
Our Events
Every year the CIOB organises hundreds of CPD and networking events, award ceremonies and competitions across the globe.
Supporting Our Members
We’re all united in a passion for our industry, but we’re also passionate about the people who make up this community. This is why through CIOB Assist we offer support on everything from financial concerns to mental health issues and training help.
Professional Development
Like most professional bodies, we believe it’s essential for members to keep up to date with the latest developments and knowledge in their field – it’s called Continuing Professional Development. Visit our CIOB Academy to view a range of our courses and other resources to meet your development needs.
