Our campaigns

At the FMB, it's important to us that our members can build with confidence. Through our campaigns we champion quality construction and work to influence policy outcomes to help our members. We aim to inform our members, build support, and change the law where we need to. Our team works with politicians and policy makers across the four nations of the UK.
