Start your CIOB Journey
Our members come from all walks of life. If you're a student just graduating or an experienced leader with 20 years of project management behind you, CIOB has tailored solutions to guide you through the process of becoming chartered.
We are the Chartered Institute of Building, and we stand for the science, ethics and practice of built environments across the world. Everything we do is to improve the quality of life for those using and creating the built environment.
We train, shape and support those who make our industry what it is today and the future leaders shaping our industry tomorrow, with around 50,000 members in more than 100 countries.
What can Membership do for you?
Elevate your status
Becoming a Chartered or Specialist member of CIOB demonstrates who you are, the principles you hold and your dedication to our industry.
As a Chartered Member (MCIOB), Charted Fellow (FCIOB) or Technical Member (TechCIOB), you're able to add post-nominals after your name, so you'll be instantly recognised by clients and colleagues globally as a professional with the skills and knowledge to complete the job to the highest standard.
Chartered Membership is comparable to a Bachelor’s degree, externally benchmarked by Ecctis and internationally recognised.
Steer the future
At CIOB, we encourage you to lead and help manage the Institute you’re a part of. That’s why our Chartered Members can apply to become trustees or join a committee, and members can vote for those they feel will serve best.
Hone your skills with CPD
Our members commit to continuous personal learning and development, and we support this by providing free and discounted CPD resources.
Our magazines are another way to engage with what's going on in the industry. Construction Management Magazine is available to all members, so you can be sure you're always up to date.
Gain specialist certifications
CIOB can help you join the CIOB Building Conservation Certification Scheme, and gain specialist certifications such as Chartered Environmentalist or CIOB Building Surveyor, in the Republic of Ireland.
