The Federation of Master Builders (FMB) is a United Kingdom trade association that protects the interests of small and medium-sized building firms.[1]

The association is independent and non-profit.[2] It works to lobby for members' interests at national and local levels[3], working in partnership with other industry companies to provide technical advice and promote professionalism in the construction sector.[4]

The FMB also offers advice[5] and building and construction insurance for both builders and consumers through its insurance arm,[6] FMB Insurance (FMBI).[7]

The FMB is the largest construction trade association in the UK, representing over 7,000 construction SMEs across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.[2]
