What We Do

Our Royal Charter commits us to work in the public interest.

This means we campaign on the major issues, which today include eradicating modern slavery from the industry, improving the quality of the built environment, ensuring the right skills, talent and behaviours are nurtured in construction, and that our environment is protected through more energy-efficient buildings and less-wasteful construction practices.

What is Membership? 

The CIOB is the most influential professional body for construction management and leadership, with around 50,000 members in more than 100 countries. Our members work in disciplines that cover the entire lifecycle of a built asset as well as the education and development of the next generation of professionals.

Chartered Membership provides you with recognition of your abilities, knowledge and experience within the industry, creating more exciting career opportunities. Chartered Members also enjoy benefits such as access to more than 500 events every year, free CPD resources from the CIOB Academy, a complimentary subscription to Construction Manager Magazine and access to our Library Information Service.

We welcome applications from all types of construction professionals, from surveyors to conservationists, engineers to HR specialists, designers to lecturers.
