About us
Who we are
IBP is a voluntary, not-for-profit organisation which brings together a diverse community of journalists and communication professionals who share a common passion for the built environment. We create the opportunity for our peers, and those who want to enter our industry, to succeed by recognising, celebrating and sharing their contribution in making this a deeply exciting sector to work in.
The IBP National Journalism Awards celebrates the very best journalism in the built environment. 2025 marks the 52nd year of the awards, and will as always, act as a benchmark for excellence and highlight the skilled reporting of journalists on key issues in our sector.
IBP also runs a series of networking and educational events, and a highly successful Summer Internship Programme, providing paid internships in property and built environment media and PR to people from under-represented groups.
We believe our work is helping to create a better world, and we want to encourage greater inclusivity by providing opportunities to those who are currently under-represented in built environment journalism and communications. By working together, we can champion the design, development and building of a better built environment for our communities and stakeholders to prosper.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy
As an ethical organisation, IBP is committed to furthering best practice in our disciplines through our awards programme, which shines a spotlight on established talent as well as promoting up-and-coming talent from across and beyond our industry. By championing the very best in-built environment journalism and communications, we can highlight and influence the important contribution that designers, constructors, developers, investors and consultants make towards the future prosperity of our society. The built environment is at the heart of who we are and how we live – and we aim to promote and drive this positive agenda. We are focused on ensuring that all those who want to enter our industry have the opportunity to succeed, and partner with third parties so that those who are under-represented can benefit from the expertise our members provide.
