The Federation Of Master Builders

What does the Federation of Master Builders do?

The Federation of Master Builders is the largest trade association for small and medium sized construction employers. Our members are right across the UK and we carry a whole range of building works, primarily in the domestic sector but also small house builders as well.

How long has it been running?

The FMB was founded in 1941, so we've got over sixty years in the construction sector.

In the event of a dispute, where a Trade or Industry Association becomes involved, it is worth bearing in mind that their existence is reliant on members subscriptions. As a consequence, bias could lean toward the Tradesman/Industry involved rather than the interests of the complainant.
