Chartered Institute of Building

We have a Royal Charter to promote the science and practice of building and construction for the benefit of society, which we have been doing since our formation in 1834. Our qualifications are a mark of the highest levels of competence and professionalism, and our 45,000 members work at every stage of the lifecycle of a project; they are the leaders who shape our towns, cities and infrastructure.

Our aim is to advance the profession of construction management, underpinned by a wealth of experience in the development, conservation and improvement of the built environment.

We welcome any queries from MPs, Peers, researchers, civil servants and the media about issues related to construction and the wider built environment. CIOB policies and views can be accessed on our bespoke policy website here. We also have comparable constituency data available on the construction workforce, with data from 2007 to 2015. Go to our website to learn more.

Social housing providers are at the heart of two political hot potatoes in the United Kingdom: the ongoing housing crisis and, with registered providers’ 4.4m homes contributing significantly to the nation’s carbon emissions, the drive to net-zero by 2050. Bringing up the quality of homes through retrofit also alleviates the burden on the NHS and social services.

Time to break down the barriers stalling water efficient housing
When environmental sustainability is talked about in construction circles, the focus is invariably on carbon and energy and it’s rare that water conservation is mentioned in the same breath. This is not surprising when this is also the case in society more widely. So, this Water Saving Week (13- 17 May) the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) is stepping up efforts to get the conversation flowing like the very stuff we all need to survive.

Housing must not become a battle between Quality vs Quantity – we must deliver both
The November reshuffle saw the appointment of yet another Housing Minister – the 16th since 2010.

With a General Election inevitably on the horizon, we can expect that there is only more stall-setting to come on what is expected to be one of the biggest policy issues at the ballot box.
