NZIOB Membership Reciprocity

In order to provide building professionals in New Zealand with the benefits of AIB membership, AIB has negotiated mutually supporting agreement with the New Zealand Institute of Building (NZIOB) to recognise each other's membership structure. For more information on NZIOB visit:

New Zealand Institute of Building (NZIOB)

The intent of this agreements is to allow an AIB member to join NZIOB at a grade commensurate with their AIB membership level. Similarly, members of these organisations can join AIB at a grade commensurate with their NZIOB membership level. In all cases discounts on the full membership fee are available.

Members of NZIOB seeking to join AIB are required to submit their application in the standard fashion however unless extraordinary circumstances apply, they will be admitted at an AIB membership grade commensurate with their NZIOB membership grade.

Please note that a similar agreement with the UK Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) ended in April 2008 when the British-based organisation unilaterally terminated the agreement. Although AIB wish to continue the arrangement, it appears that the decision taken by CIOB was part of its decision to downgrade relationships with Australian stakeholders given the financial losses of CIOB Australasia.

Members of NZIOB how wish to apply for membership of AIB and who have questions can direct them to the AIB Membership Officer via e-mail at membership@aib.org.au
