The Institute of Building |
The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB), headquartered in Bracknell, UK, is a worldwide professional body that represents construction and property professionals who work within the built environment. Chartered members holding CIOB accredited qualifications may use MCIOB (Member) FCIOB (Fellow).
CIOB is a full member of the Construction Industry Council. The Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) accredit MCIOB and FCIOB qualifications enabling formal issue of the CML Professional Consultants Certificate (PCC).
The CIOB was established in London on 6 March 1834 as the Builders Society by an eminent group of Master Builders that included Thomas Cubitt and William Cubitt.
"to uphold and promote reputable standards of building through friendly intercourse, the useful exchange of information and greater uniformity and respectability in business".
It later became The London Master Builders Society. In the same year of 1834 the RIBA was founded away from the traditional Master Builder.
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". 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.
Following substantial development, particularly in the years following the Second World War, the Institute changed its name in 1965 to The Institute of Building and adopted in 1970 new objectives of a broader and more professional character and 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 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. The CIOB has also formed international agreements with several overseas organisations.
