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.
FMB 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! :)
excellent service
Being a member of FMB keeps us updated with all the latest construction news and developments especially with the difficult times with have been faced with over the last two years. It gives us as a company reassurance within the construction industry.
Fantastic! This organisation has really helped my company’s direction in the industry. It’s improved the way our business is run and how we have achieve our high standards now and going forward. A brilliant organisation to be part of and not just because you pay for it, like many others Thank you FMB and look forward to the future.
You don’t do anything No advertisements on tv nothing at all
The 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.
FMB 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.
Always provide an exemplary service Thanking you
A 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
When we needed support with a customer not paying an account, we received clear information on what to do to try and recover the debt
Very pleased with the rate of response
It’s great being part of the team Lots of support and information to help us through the mine field of construction
When we needed legal advise they were very helpfull
Fantastic organisation for anyone starting up a business always there for help and information it has been a pleasure to be a part of it for so long keep up the good work
Always have good honest advice from members enquires.
Inspection was convenient, informative, the inspector was polite and courtious.
The inspection was well planned, courteous and efficient. The inspector was very friendly and genuinely interested in our work.
One 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.
Great service to its members provides support and guidance on new and existing projects, a real help to its members.
