Membership of the Scheme is not just open to anybody. In order to join, a company must qualify by meeting certain criteria.

The overriding requirement of the scheme is for a proportion of the company's Executive Board to be professionally qualified. Only businesses that are led by Chartered professionals can become Chartered Building Companies.

Furthermore, there are requirements for staff elsewhere in the organisation to be appropriately qualified, so that the people most likely to be working on operational projects are trained and competent. Scheme members also have to operate to a tight Code of Conduct, see download below.
