The Association of Building Engineers (ABE) is the professional body for those specialising in the technology of building. Founded in 1925, originally under the name The Incorporated Association of Architects and Surveyors, it has a wide-ranging membership, drawn from both within the UK and overseas.

ABE holds a unique independence and breadth of influence, with consequent national and international recognition of its qualifications both in the public and private sectors and in the construction industry at large, where it is represented on educational, codes and standards, legislative, technical and other advisory bodies.

One of the main objectives of the ABE is to promote and advance the knowledge, study and practice of the arts and sciences concerned with building technology, planning, design, construction, maintenance and repair of the built environment.
