Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB)

The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB)  creates technical documents that concern the built environment.

The CIOB/IHS partnership gives IHS the rights to reproduce CIOB publications within The Construction Information Service, an expert knowledge tool that delivers key technical information critical to all.

The CIOB has over 42,000 members, which are drawn from a wide range of professional disciplines working within building and construction supply chains and are skilled managers and professionals with a common commitment to achieving and maintaining the highest possible standards.

Chartered Member status, represented by the designations MCIOB and FCIOB, is recognised internationally as the mark of a true professional in the construction industry.

With its increasing international membership and growing profile in the UK, the CIOB is making a hugely influential contribution to one of the world's most important industries.

Personal and professional development of members is a priority for the CIOB. Work in this area focuses on raising standards in building, setting the benchmark for the quality of education and training provided to those entering or working in the industry.
