Chartered Association of Building Engineers (CABE) is a member-focused, non-profit organisation that brings like-minded professionals together.
We are an internationally recognised professional body. Membership of CABE shows your peers, employers and the public that you are a competent and ethical professional who can be relied upon to strive for the highest possible standards.
CABE members work across the life-cycle of the built environment specialising across a wide range of disciplines. By bringing these disciplines together, CABE shares knowledge, raises standards and develops professionals, enabling a professional construction
sector that works to create better, safer and more sustainable buildings that enhance people’s lives.
A Building Engineer is a competent, professionally qualified, experienced individual with a critical understanding of the interaction between buildings and people. Building Engineers collaborate to deliver better outcomes for everyone.
Using rigorous professional judgement, they understand and manage the complex interplay of materials, technologies, systems and services to improve the function and performance of new and existing buildings.
Building Engineers operate across the life-cycle of the built environment, encompassing the design, build, maintenance and repurposing of the spaces and places where we live, work and interact.
"Building Engineers make buildings perform better: more inclusive, safer for all and sustainable over time."
