Find a Builder
About us The Federation of Master Builders is the largest trade association for the UK construction industry and a not-for-profit organisation that is run by members for members.
Our mission We support small and medium-sized construction companies to grow and manage their business by providing a wide range of support services such as contract templates, unlimited expert advice, online training, and access to a community of fellow professional builders.
Our members must pass an independent inspection and strict vetting process before they join the FMB to ensure they meet the high standards expected of a Master Builder company.
We also connect clients with professional, local builders they can trust through our free Find a Builder service. Our series of ultimate guides for home renovation projects helps clients to understand what to expect during a building project.
Excellent company to be involved with
We have been members of FMB for a long time and have always taken pride in being a member. This year we entered the FMB awards and won Building Company of the Year which is a great achievement for us and again take pride in being awarded by FMB.
I wanted this accreditation a while now but found the process a little daunting, little did i know that once i found the courage to apply that i would be afforded 2 people who i cannot endorse enough, Janet and Dawn are absolute credits to your business, i felt so at ease, they guided me through the whole process, start to finish, i actually count them as friends now which is a testament to their character and ability to make me feel at ease Kudos to them both, you have two diamonds there!!
Great document library which has helped with upgrading our HR and HSE policy's and systems. We attended the FMB Awards for Southern Counties which was well organised and a great evening, we also won an award!
The FMB exist purely to serve their members. As someone who hired one of their members, had an awful experience and tried to get the help of the FMB to resolve a dispute, they did nothing but waste months of our time before eventually closing our case with thousands of pounds of damages remaining unresolved. If you read a few of the other reviews here, you'll notice a pattern of positive feedback from contractors and negative ones from those who hired an FMB contractor.
The FMB is a great asset to any small to medium business by the support provided. They also provide us small companies with a big voice with legislation and commerce
It is amazing to be part of FMB, it's supportive and make getting work easy.
Good team! Very responsive, able to solve any problem in the shortest possible time! Best regards, George.
Easy simple and efficient reviews of my work
You pay monthly subscription and get monthly magazine which ends up in recycling and that's about it.
Need to be seen more I cannot remember the last time I saw FMB Advertising onTV or on the radio and it’s no good saying you do because I have not seen or heard
Contractor Building Inspection: Just had our annual inspection from the Federation of Master Builders. The inspection allows FMB to assess the type of work we are undertaking and the quality of both the site, the scope of our service and the quality of workmanship. With insightful queries and observations from the inspecting team. The inspection was conducted on time and in a thorough fashion. A selection of images was taken of our full scope and this is reflected in our profile. Thanks again for making the process straight forward. The inspector was knowledgeable and a pleasure to meet. Thankyou for the INDEPENDENT INSPECTION CERTIFICATE ( received yesterday). Craig/ Director/ Dew North Ltd
FMB seem really helpful, I don't have too much involvement, but use the contracts and like being a part of it. I will remain a member, thanks. Paul
Always helpful when I've called. Good access to information on website.
Been dealing with Dawn Bowen who has been brilliant with helping me through the website and is always there to help if I have needed her.
From the start of our application for FMB membership Suzanne Herson-Lumb could not do enough to assist us in securing this membership in a very short period of time. During the application Suzanne happily fielded all calls and email queries and advised on exactly what was needed to ensure a smooth application process. Due to Suzanne's assistance PARR FM were able to acquire this membership in the required timeframe for the business in as painless a manner as possible.
Suzanne was absolutely superb in helping me through the process from start to finish and giving me stability that i can contact her at anytime moving forward if i needed any help with anything. Thanks Suzanne
The inspection was easily conducted in a professional manner by the inspector. Customer service representative was polite and helpful during course of planning the inspection
I recently had an independent inspection from one of your team. The date for the inspection was early January, it got to early February and I had to chase the results. Once I’d sent the email the paperwork then followed to say I’d passed the inspection. After weeks of thinking what’s going on. Not good practice
