Bringing people together to collaborate, debate and deliver excellence
fbe is led by the industry for the industry.
Our regional committees are all volunteers focused on linking likeminded people together to collaborate, debate and deliver excellence in the built environment. First established in 1946 after World War 2 had ended a group of industry fellows formed The Faculty of Building in a time of uncertainty and economic hardship. This spirt still lives on in the present day. Led by a central board with branches across the UK the commitment within each region to share knowledge and network is at the forefront of every event.

Upcoming Events
The fbe Great Western Branch is continuing its collaboration series with other industry bodies and pleased to be able to co-host this debate on a real issue we are facing in pre-contract.
In collaboration with Construction Excellence South-West, you are invited to join us to participate in a workshop to review the issues and develop ideas and strategies on how we can improve the two-stage procurement route.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is the topic of the moment, infiltrating everything from how we write content (this excerpt has been written with the assistance of ChatGPT) to major industries like medicine, law and media. In the domain of the built environment, AI is reshaping how we design, construct and manage buildings. While the uses of this new technology are in their infancy, AI has the potential to transform every stage of the building lifecycle.

Capital’s fantastic in-house chef will provide a three-course French themed meal.

The Lancashire Branch of fbe is delighted to invite you to The Flower Bowl, Garstang on Thursday 21st November for a fun evening of curling and the opportunity to network with fellow construction and built environment professionals.
Sheffield’s rich industrial past means that we have many buildings and structures of significant historical and cultural importance. These form a vital part of our city’s heritage and require careful conservation. Working with these buildings requires a particular approach to avoid potential pitfalls. With that in mind, we are pleased to welcome you for a breakfast sandwich and an introduction to heritage and the planning process. A real who, what, when and why of managing a heritage project. We will look at statutory requirements, key assessments and fieldwork, who to liaise with and finish with some case studies and key lessons.
For our next event we have shuffleboard! This is a great opportunity to connect with other professionals in a relaxed setting.
Whether you’re new to shuffleboard or a seasoned player, come ready to chat and enjoy some friendly competition.
A drinks token is included in the price of admission.
See you there!
