In general, a professional is someone who has a career in a particular profession. The term can also be used to describe educational and training standards that provide an individual with the knowledge, expertise and skills to carry out their profession effectively and well.

In a construction sense, the term ‘professional’ is not taken to cover all levels of expertise and practice. Skilled construction and maintenance work, such as carpentry, electrician, plumber, steelworker, and so on, are termed ‘trades’ or ‘craft’, rather than a profession. A broad, but not strictly accurate, distinction that is often applied is that a ‘professional’ is engaged in mental labour while a ‘tradesperson’ is engaged in physical labour.

Professions are occupations that require a prolonged period of education and training. They are often overseen by professional bodies who may accredit educational establishments and qualified professionals. Professional bodies may set standards of ethics, performance, competence, insurance, training and so on that must be met to remain within the profession. These are typically set out in a code of conduct.

In the construction industry, many professionals will also be bound by professional or regulatory codes of conduct. For example, architects are bound by the ARB code of conduct, which lays down the standards of professional conduct and practice expected of persons registered as architects under the Architects Act. In addition, if they are members of the RIBA, they will be subject to the requirements of the RIBA Code of Professional Conduct.

The term 'professional practice' refers to the conduct and work of someone from a particular profession.

Very few professional practices have sufficient resources within their own organisations to meet anything other than minor claims brought against them in respect of professional negligence. It is for this reason that professional indemnity insurance is so important to the construction professions and to contractors working on design and build projects. Professional indemnity insurance (PII), sometimes known as errors and omissions insurance (E&O), provides insurance cover against claims of negligence.

The phrase ‘continuing professional development’ (CPD) describes activities undertaken by professionals to ensure their skills and knowledge remain up-to-date.

Continuing professional development is becoming more important in all professions as the rate of change and number of specialisms increases. In the construction industry, CPD has become a vital part of a professional career as a result of; continuous and accelerating changes in technology, regulations and procurement practices; increasing specialisation; and the complexity and integration of the supply chain.
