Institutions can be formal, such as laws and policies, or informal, such as norms and conventions. Organizations—such as parliaments, regulatory agencies, private firms, and community bodies—develop and act in response to institutional frameworks and the incentives they frame. Institutions can guide, constrain, and shape human interaction through direct control, through incentives, and through processes of socialization.’

Institutes are organisational bodies created for a purpose such as research, education, or to represent professionals. A chartered institute is an institution which has been granted a Royal Charter. A Royal Charter is an instrument of incorporation which confers independent ‘legal personality’, reflecting the prestigious high status of that organisation. The terms of each Charter differ according to the specific institute. For more information see: Chartered institute.

In the construction industry there are a very wide variety of institutes specialising in almost every aspect of business, planning, design, construction and operation. These include the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB), the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and so on.

Very broadly, an institute varies from an association in that an institute may prescribe a way of doing things, for example by a code of conduct, or by accrediting qualifications, were as an association is generally a looser group of organisations that have similar aims.

A list of institutes involved in the construction industry can be found at:

* Construction industry institutes and associations A to F
* Construction industry institutes and associations G to Z

This list includes nearly 300 institutes and associations. It has been argued that this is not in the best interests of the industry as it makes it difficult to present a single voice, it leaves government unable to communicate with the industry and as a result leaves the industry weaker.

In an attempt to tackle this problem, the Construction Industry Council (CIC) was established in 1988 to provide ‘…a single voice for professionals in all sectors of the built environment’. It is a forum for professional bodies, research organisations and specialist business associations in the construction industry which the CIC suggests gives it a ‘collective membership’ of 500,000 professionals. For more information see: Construction Industry Council.

The Construction Leadership Council (CLC) was established in 2013 to oversee implementation of Construction 2025: industrial strategy for construction. It is an industry / government council jointly chaired by the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) and an industry representative. For more information see: Construction Leadership Council.
