Master Builders Victoria was established in 1875 by a group of distinguished builders intent on raising standards within the industry. The organisation has grown to become a pre-eminent industry voice with members universally renowned for their reliability, skill and professionalism.
We service the needs of the entire industry, from residential to commercial and engineering businesses, principal contractors to subcontractors, tradies, manufacturers and suppliers. We provide advice in areas including registration processes, building regulations, insurance, industrial relations, legal, work health and safety and sustainable construction. As a Registered Training Organisation we also provide training in those areas.
We also serve the public of Victoria by fostering best practice work standards and acting as an independent advisory service.
