Forum for the Built Environment
The Forum for the Built Environment (fbe) is a networking organisation for multidisciplinary professionals who work in the built environment sector. Its goal is to create opportunities for personal, professional and commercial development. It trades under its former name, Faculty of Building (fob).
The Worshipful Company of Constructors was founded in 1976 after a group from the Forum for the Built Environment (formerly the Faculty of Building) held its first meeting.
