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.

Mar 12,2025We've been proud members of the Federation of Master Builders (FMB) and recently renewed our subscription without hesitation. The FMB has been an invaluable resource for our business, providing expert advice, industry updates, and opportunities to connect with other professionals. Their support in maintaining high standards within the industry is commendable, and being an FMB member reassures our clients that we adhere to the best practices in construction. From legal guidance to marketing tools, the benefits of membership are well worth it. Thank you to the FMB team for your continued dedication to helping builders like us thrive. We look forward to another great year as part of this fantastic organization!

Mar 05,2025In my experience, FMB are a credible organisation watch long side trustMark to improve peoples experience within the building industry which as a member. I totally agree with there’s so many cowboy builders out there people off. But they don’t advertise enough no one really knows about FMB and what they stand for. All I ever hear of people as they’ve been on checker trade etc. as they think this is a highly vetted Company’s and then get ripped off and find FMB by googling by the way number 12 when I Google. In my professional opinion, FMB need to get out there more with the general public and not just target good Builders and developers to join.

Feb 26,2025Our application process was quite thorough and time-consuming, but we anticipated that as part of the journey. We were required to provide details of several recent projects we had completed and, finally, undergo an inspection of a newly finished project. It is reassuring to see that FMB’s application process is so rigorous, as it reinforces that its membership consists of like-minded, professional companies. Unfortunately, this level of diligence is not always the norm in the building industry—despite the claims of some of the biggest brands. We are proud to display the FMB logo on our vehicles and look forward to actively participating in the FMB network.

Feb 25,2025Lindsey was excellent in her support of our final resolution of ongoing issues with our builder, who wasn't responding to our requests to complete outstanding works and rectify issues. She was professional, responsive and effective in how she managed the situation to bring a resolution, with both parties remaining amicable throughout the process. We felt assured and confident in her approach and the results she achieved, for which we are very grateful.

Feb 19,2025Horrendous customer service. Do not expect to be treated decently or with the courtesy of a human being. We have used the services of FMB for a couple of years, and after seeing not much benefit from them, we did not renew the contract. We forgot that we since omitted to remove their logo from our website. After 5 years of not using their service, we were threatened over the phone by an angry lady that doesn't seem to wish to acquire new clients but to never give them a chance to retry their service and instead threaten them, be extremely rude and unreasonable.

Feb 19,2025Very disappointed with their services—they just take money from clients and are completely unprofessional. Don’t waste your time with them; you’ll lose both time and money. The worst on the market. Their staff is incapable of communicating with customers. They have no expertise in the field and have no idea how to handle clients. Extremely dissatisfied. Stay away from them—you’ll just waste your time and money. Be careful!

Feb 12,2025Because it's a bona fide Government endorsed body we value our membership. You do go and physically check works and liaise with FMB customers which is reassuring.
