CIOB Renews Partnership with CIAT

CIOB Renews Partnership with CIAT

Since 1997 the Chartered Institute of Building and the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists have worked together to strengthen the links between Construction Management and Architectural Technology.

In a move that reinforces that partnership the CIOB and CIAT have renewed their Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), which is reviewed every five years.

The alliance has benefits for members of both Institutes which include joint CPD and networking events in the UK and abroad, as well as a 25% reduction on the standard rate of membership for those wishing dual membership.

James Wates, President, CIOB said, “The construction industry is made up of many professions working together to develop, renew and improve the built environment now and for future generations. ‘Integrated Teams’ may seem like an overused phrase, but collaborative working between the professions is absolutely essential for our industry to meet the demands and challenges of economic recovery, and the creation of a sustainable future. That is why the CIOB takes pride in its partnership with CIAT.”

Barry Le Beuvant, President, CIAT said, “We are delighted to renew our strong and effective partnership with the CIOB, those studying or practising the discipline of Architectural Technology are at the forefront of ensuring a well coordinated and sustainable future, whilst respecting the heritage that must also be protected. The industry must prepare now for the skills and understanding necessary for a local carbon world as we come out of the recession, and working together with the same drive and determination delivery will ensure that this is achievable.”
