Review of the AIB Agreement

The Chartered Institute of Building has recently undertaken a review of the reciprocity agreement with the Australian Institute of Building (AIB). The CIOB Council has decided not to renew the agreement with AIB in order to guarantee our standards of admission, accreditation and membership qualification. The CIOB values its collaboration with Institutes and professional bodies worldwide and is prepared to continue to work with the Australian Institute of Building on activities of mutual benefit such as events, seminars, conferences and exchange of information in Australia.

CIOB Members who currently benefit from a reduced subscription as a result of dual membership will not be affected during 2008, however they will pay normal CIOB subscriptions as of January 2009.  New members who are AIB members at the point of application will be required to go through the CIOB’s normal membership processes.

Troy Williams, AIB Chief Executive, was informed of this decision immediately on 2 April 2008.

We continue to have great success and influence in Australia with a 10% growth on average year on year.  We forecast that this growth will continue for the foreseeable future.
