The Federation of Master Builders (FMB) is a UK trade association established in 1941 to protect the interests of small and medium-sized building firms.
As of 2011, it is the largest trade association in the UK building industry. The FMB is an independent, non-profit organisation.
The FMB is a source of knowledge, professional advice and support for its members, providing a range of modern and relevant business building services to save them time and money.
The FMB is independent and non-profit-making, lobbying for members' interests at both national and local levels. With three other trade associations, it is represented on the UK government's Strategic Forum for Construction through the Construction Alliance.
