The CIOB is attracting some of its largest numbers in years with more than 3,000 new members joining over the last 12 months. A further 140 are on their way to corporate membership, according to the Institute’s 2015 annual review.
The newly released publication focuses on a number of initiatives launched over the last year as well as putting firm plans in place for the future.
Among the highlights of 2015 were the release of prominent reports over the course of the year. Modern Slavery: The dark side of construction, Migration in the UK Construction Industry and The Value of Professionalism received acclaim from both members and the public.

In December last year the institute relocated its London representative office to Kingsway, as a precursor to the CIOB Academy being based there as a home for CIOB training and other activity.
New rules for the Chartered Building Companies and Chartered Building Consultancies schemes were also designed by the industry and implemented. These new rules have strengthened the scheme – raising its overall standards and ensuring that the CBC scheme is a kitemark of excellence and a corporate membership scheme of choice.
Speaking about the year as a whole, current president Chris Chivers said: “The Institute should never just reflect on its past but must be very much about the future, and during 2015 the Institute did just that by carrying out extensive work to set a course to 2020 and beyond.
“Implementation of the 2020 Strategic Plan has begun and you will see early signs of this through the relaunch of the CBC schemes and the introduction of the Academy.”
