History
The CIOB was established in 1834 as the Builder Society by a small group of London's master builders "to uphold and promote reputable standards of building through friendly intercourse, the useful exchange of information and greater uniformity and respectability in business".[1]
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".[1]
Following substantial development, particularly in the years following the Second World War, the CIOB 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 was granted a Royal Charter on 25 September 1980.
