Aims of the South East Branch

The main aims of the South East Branch are to effectively serve the public and CIOB members and to raise the profile of the Institute in the South East region.

The branch supports seven extremely active centres,  nad a Novus group, all of whom have a programme of topical and varied CPD events. Coupled with these main events each centre has at least one occasion for general networking usually in the form of a dinner of luncheon.

Please visit the relevant centre page to find further details of events taking place in your area. Remember that your non-CIOB colleagues are also warmly invited to attend events.



The Branch works closely with other organisations such as SECBE, CIC, SE RIBA and ICE to help raise the profile of the construction industry.

Do you have a team to win the SE Student Challenge?
	Recent winners include the Southampton Solent University and the Royal School of Military Engineering and Mid-Kent College. The Chartered Institute of Building’s ‘Student Challenge’ competition is aimed at raising the awareness of the role of the Industry in the training and support of our young Construction Management Trainees. The next South East Student Challenge competition is taking place on 3rd March 2010 at the Novotel in Southampton with the finalists going forward to represent the South East at the National Finals in Ascot. We are looking for colleges and universities to participate by entering one or two teams of four students. Students can be of any age, studying on a recognised construction course (this includes part-time or full-time).
We very much hope that you feel able to support this worthwhile initiative, specifically aimed to encourage and support our construction students. Please click here to download a copy of the flyer. Sponsorship opportunites are also available.

Speaker Opportunities

The centres will soon be considering their programme of events for 2010/11. It is the aim of the South East Branch to continue to provide CIOB members and the general with public successful, topical and relevant events.

We would like to hear from you if you have any suggestions for topics or speakers for future events. Additionally, if you are interested in co-hosting an event, please contact phazell@ciob.org.uk.
