Leading the cultural shift

For 190 Years

We are the world's largest and most influential professional body for construction management and leadership.

Celebrating 190 years​ of global influence

Construction history was made in 1834 when a group of Master Builders came together in London to create The Builders’ Society. Fast-forward to today, our name may have changed, but our commitment to uphold professional standards, drive innovation and support the industry’s people remains as strong.

We’re now joined by 48,000 members across 100 countries dedicated to leading a cultural shift in the built environment. This celebration not only reflects on the heritage of our remarkable creators, but also looks forward to those influencing a brighter future.​

About us

We have a Royal Charter to promote the science and practice of building and construction for the benefit of society, and we’ve been doing that since 1834. Our members work worldwide in the development, conservation and improvement of the built environment.
