CIAT has 7 Centres (Hong Kong, Republic of Ireland, the Americas, Australasia, Europe, Middle East and Africa, and Asia). The title of a Centre is given to a country with a substantial proportion of members and affiliates who have formally requested such status. In the UK this is referred to as a Region. A member or affiliate of the Institute is assigned a Region or Centre (if outside the UK) upon joining and it is this Region or Centre that they will be an active part of for CPD events and networking opportunities. Members and affiliates can apply to join the Regional/Centre Committee which effectively administers its own Region or Centre, with support from CIAT Central Office.

AEEBC 

CIAT is a Principal member of the AEEBC, (Association d’Experts Européennes du Bâtiment et de la Construction). This Association was formed to promote the building surveying and construction professions throughout Europe and facilitate the exchange of experience and information between professionally qualified building surveyors and construction experts. 

Members of the AEEBC include professional associations, construction companies, individuals with an interest in, or who work in the sector, educational establishments offering related qualifications, government departments or charities. CIAT works together with representatives of other comparable professions in Europe, such as building surveyors, constructing architects, construction managers, construction engineers, geometri, arquitectos técnicos, civil engineers etc.

Through the AEEBC, CIAT has helped facilitate the introduction of the EurBE scheme which is an accreditation scheme for construction and building professionals. This provides an opportunity for suitably qualified professionals from across Europe to achieve European recognition and accreditation alongside their national qualification.
