Grâce à ses 32 fédérations nationales membres dans 27 pays européens (24 de l’UE ainsi que la Norvège, la Suisse et l’Ukraine), la FIEC représente les entreprises de construction de toutes tailles et de toutes spécialités de bâtiment et de génie civil.

This involves promoting sustainable development in the construction sector to facilitate the implementation of the green transition and thus achieve the objectives of the EU Green Deal; a public procurement system that guarantees a real level playing field for all EU construction companies; a sustainable transport and energy infrastructure network to support the EU's medium- and long-term growth; and worker protection, to improve working conditions, health and safety, and training.
