The Guild of Builders and Contractors

The Guild of Builders and Contractors was formed in 1992 by 14 builders.  Their aim was to create a Guild consisting of reputable firms and individuals actively involved in the building industry who were experienced and knowledgeable and traded with integrity.  They also wished to provide appropriate services to members and ensure that the costs of membership were, and remained, considerably less than other trade organisations.

British Damage Management Assocation

The formation of the British Damage Management Association (BDMA) marked a milestone in relations between the insurance industry and those who provide recovery and restoration services. Modern damage management involves highly technical disciplines and the industry is traditionally intensely competitive. The creation of the BDMA indicated the significance damage management practitioners attach to the establishment and maintenance of uniform standards of care and codes of practice, underpinned by technical and corporate training.

At its launch, on 1st December 1999, the Association received confirmation of support from Treasury Minister, the Association of British Insurers (ABI) and the Chartered Institute of Loss Adjusters (CILA), and its aim of establishing and promoting best practice in damage management and related disciplines was welcomed by major insurers and loss adjusters. The BDMA is committed to responding to the insurers’ need for contractors to work to recognised standards.
