Architectes-Bâtisseurs (A-B) Architecten-Bouwers
Movement founded in Belgium in 1984, following the example of the French Architectes-Bâtisseurs (created in 1981) and discovered during the colloquium organised by the UPA-BUA in Hélécine).

Chambres bruxelloise et Wallonne
These bodies were created in 2012 in order to ensure reciprocal information and coordination of actions between the Order (Cfg-OA) and the French-speaking associative world (following the pre-scission of the Order and the disappearance of the CPO - Concertation Permanente - Permanente Overleg). Due to difficulties in dialogue between the two bodies, since 2016 these chambers have become strictly ordinal bodies, responsible for dealing with professional issues. The Brussels Chamber now reports to the National Council (CNOA) and is parity-based (FR-NL), while the Walloon Chamber still reports to the Cfg-OA (although a reorganisation is nevertheless envisaged).

Chambre de Conciliation, d'Arbitrage et de médiation en matière Immobilière

This organization was founded on June 10, 1974 (among the founders were the architects Georges Baines, Daniël Craet, Jules Lemaître and Jacques Wybauw), based on an idea coming from France. It has more than 150 members and its aim is to make the members get to know each other better in order to develop and elevate their professional ideals. The organization of monthly dinner-debates (at Château Sainte-Anne in Auderghem) is the main means chosen to meet these aspirations.
