Formed in 1908, IStructE has grown to become the world's largest professional body dedicated to structural engineering.

IStructE is committed to excellence in structural engineering and expects the same standards from its members. Members are qualified by rigorous exams that test professional competence in structural engineering design; as a result IStructE's members are recognised worldwide for their technical and professional expertise.

Supporting the industry is at the core of the work of IStructE, whether this is through its range of authoritative technical publications, its comprehensive programme of training courses, lectures and debates, or services such as Findanengineer.com.

IStructE has set down its strategic objectives in a Business Plan which covers a three year rolling programme. The Executive Board of IStructE monitors progress of the Plan.

IStructE's headquarters are situated in the heart of Belgravia, London. The HQ is home to the Institution's secretariat, the library, as well as a suite of conference rooms.

With more than 20000 members in over 100 countries, IStructE has developed a global network of branches, divisions and representatives supporting the membership.
