Formerly called | The Institute of Building |
The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) is a worldwide professional body that represents professionals who work within the built environment. Chartered members may use the designation MCIOB (Member) and/or FCIOB (Fellow) and can be assigned as Chartered Builders or Chartered Construction Managers once they have demonstrated the required professional competence.
CIOB is a full member of the Construction Industry Council.[1]
History[]

The CIOB was established in London on 6 March 1834 as the Builders Society by an eminent group of 15 Master Builders that included Thomas Cubitt and William Cubitt, to suppress trade unions[2] and to: "uphold and promote reputable standards of building through friendly intercourse, the useful exchange of information and greater uniformity and respectability in business".[3]
By 1867, it had become The London Master Builders Society and had 76 members.[4] In 1884 the society was incorporated under the Companies Act as The Institute of Builders, the principal objective being "to promote excellence in the construction of buildings and just and honourable practice in the conduct of business".[3] From 1886, the Institute had offices at 31-32 Bedford Street in London, along with the Central Association of Master Builders of London and the Builders' Accident Insurance Company.[5]
Following substantial development, particularly in the years following the Second World War, The Institute of Builders changed its name in 1965 to The Institute of Building and, in 1970, adopted new objectives of a broader and more professional character. That year it also registered as an educational charity.
The Institute of Building was granted a Royal Charter on 25 September 1980, thereby achieving its current name: The Chartered Institute of Building.
The CIOB (along with the CIBSE, IstructE, RIBA, and RICS) was a founder member of the Building Industry Council, today the Construction Industry Council, in 1988.[6]
Global spread[]
The CIOB is headquartered in the UK with branches throughout the world. Approximately 20% of its members are located overseas with representation in over 100 countries worldwide with offices in Australia, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, South Africa, and The Middle East.[7] The CIOB has also formed international agreements with several overseas organisations.[8]
Membership[]
The CIOB has over 45,000 members worldwide. Members are drawn from a wide range of professional disciplines working within the built environment, including clients, consultants, and contractors as well specialists in regulation, research, and education. There are two categories of members: Corporate and Non-Corporate.[3]
Members must undertake Continuing Professional Development throughout the life of their membership following the CIOB guidelines to maintain their professional status and to fulfill their professional obligations.
