CIB was established in 1953 as an association whose aim was to stimulate and facilitate international cooperation and information exchange between governmental research institutes in the construction sector, with an emphasis on those with involvement in technical disciplines.

The purpose of the CIB is to provide a global network for international exchange and cooperation in research and innovation in construction, in support of an improved building process and improved performance of the built environment.
CIB covers the technical, economic, environmental, organisational and other aspects of the built environment in all phases of its life cycle, and addresses all steps in the process of basic and applied research, documentation and transfer of research results, and implementation and actual application of them.

The objectives of CIB is to be: a relevant source of information on research and innovation worldwide in construction; a reliable and efficient hub for the global research community - and a forum to achieve meaningful exchange between the entire spectrum of building and construction interests and the global research community.
