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.

Dec 02,2021FMB is an invaluable source of all things construction and I'm very impressed with the helpfulness, courtesy and all round professionalism of the staff. One lady in particular, Sarah Webster was extremely helpful and made the application process a real joy. Thank you! :)

Nov 22,2021The Federation of Master Builders are useless. “Builders” simply pay to be listed with them. We hired a cowboy builder in Cornwall who nearly caused a fire from unsafe electrics, stole items from the site and finally caused a flood through dodgy plumbing. I reported him to the FMB and they did nothing. He is still listed on their site.

Nov 09,2021FMB Insurance obviously understood my business more than the telesales person from a previous insurer. Apart from saving me money I now feel that all aspects of my business have been insured correctly.

Nov 06,2021A totally useless organisation, leave your loyal members to fend for themselves when they need your help. Don't give them your hard earned money you'll get nothing in return. Id rather give the membership money to charity at least ill get some satisfaction from knowing its gone to good use

Nov 03,2021One of the main reasons we've been members of FMB for 60 years is for access/advice on wage rates, holidays, etc. Nowadays you post it on your website for anyone/everyone to see. Why? It reduces the benefits of being a member.
