We review the groups from time to time and set up new ones where there is enough member interest.

Patron Membership
Includes everything in standard membership, plus the following active benefits:
- Regular one-to-one time with your team – Three catch-ups a year, online, with Simon Corbey (Executive Director), Richard Broad (Chief Executive) or Debbie Ward (Director, Reuse), to discuss specific challenges, issues or opportunities. We pride ourselves on being personable and responsive.
- Twice-yearly Patron forum – All Patron members get together twice a year to share challenges, solutions and updates on what is coming next across the sector. Both this and your one-to-one time feed directly into ASBP Board discussions and our strategy development.
- Priority consideration to speak at our events – Our events reach over 1,000 people a year, including our annual conferences on Healthy Buildings, Reuse and Natural Materials, and we are regularly invited to curate sessions at London Build, Futurebuild and other popular trade shows. Patron members are the first people we consider when we are building a panel or recommending a speaker.
- Early access to site visits – Patron members benefit from a week’s exclusive booking window before places open to standard members. Where your project or premises are a good fit, we will talk to you first about hosting a site visit, providing you with a presenting opportunity in front of an engaged, relevant audience.
- Priority directory placement – Your Patron listing appears first in our Member Directory, ahead of standard members.
- Your own bespoke feature – One bespoke blog, interview or thought piece each year, featured across our website, newsletter and social channels.
- Become involved in R&D projects – We have an active R&D programme and are renowned for our leading-edge research and guidance. When we are building a project team or consortium, we approach Patron members first as potential partners. You can also put forward a research or guidance idea of your own, and where it looks viable, we will discuss possible funding routes with you.
- Shape industry guidance – Priority access to project and technical steering groups, helping set the direction of industry-leading best practice research and guidance from the inside. Recent guidance examples have focussed on mass timber and insurance, fire and moisture risk; the reuse of structural steel and internal fit-out components, and natural materials.
- First option on sponsorship and partnerships – Patron members are offered the first opportunity to sponsor or partner on ASBP-led research, guidance and events, and to endorse the outputs, before opening to the wider membership. For example, the Mass Timber Insurance Playbook, downloaded 10,000+ times and endorsed by major insurance bodies.
- Patron member logo – A distinct gold Patron-tier logo for your website and marketing material, showing you’re leading the way, visibly separate from standard membership.
