Encouraging, championing and developing excellence in built environment journalism and communications.

For over 50 years, IBP (formerly known as the International Building Press) has brought together people who care about public interest journalism and informed public debate about the built environment.

We exist to raise standards, open doors to new talent, improve diversity and inclusion, and champion the highest standards in built environment journalism and communications – from news, features, and podcasts to PR and corporate communications.

Our vision

IBP's vision is for a diverse, inclusive and connected community shaping how the built environment is understood, and helping create a better, fairer world through the power of excellent journalism and communications.

The IBP Awards

IBP’s annual awards programme celebrates the very best journalism and podcasting in the built environment. 2026 marks the awards 53rd year, and will as always, act as a benchmark for excellence and highlight the media brands and the skilled reporting in our sector.

The shortlisted articles from previous awards can be viewed on the 2025, 2024, 2023 and 2022 pages.
