Get work through accreditation with a membership body
The FMB is a trade association that promotes professionalism and high quality workmanship among small and medium-sized building firms throughout the UK.
In an industry as competitive as construction, you can't afford to be left wondering where the next job is coming from. That's why the FMB is always working behind the scenes to give its members the best chance of picking up the latest projects. The 'Find A Builder' service on our website puts your business in front of thousands of potential customers. That's millions of pounds worth of quality job leads handed out every month.
There are several things consumers are encouraged to look out for to help them make a choice and distinguish reputable firms from ‘cowboys’. This includes membership of a construction scheme or membership body and verification of membership details through our website.
So even while your getting on with your latest project, you can be sure your name is in front of hundreds of potential clients. We'll also give you three free web pages to display key information about your company and the services you offer, maximising the potential of your listing.

- Turn more quotes into contracts
