RIL’s members act in different technical groups:

• Building construction
• Building development and project management
• Property ownership and maintenance
• Foundation, earth, and rock construction
• Bridges and special structures
• Routes, traffic,c and logistics

RIL’s technical groups each deal with the problems that arise in their particular branch of building. They prepare RIL’s statements and their initiatives serve to develop the building branch. Divisions also deal with the needs of publications and education.

RIL has over fifty committees. They handle

• technical matters
• quality control for certain areas of building
• materials
• the society’s internal activities
• cooperation with other societies, ministries, etc.
• post-graduate education
• standards and codes of practice that RIL publishes

In co-operation with associations of technicians and BSc civil engineers, RIL grants authorization to individuals who have passed building and construction examinations. Competence certification is granted to individuals, such, for example the following:

• project managers
• supervisors
• designers (concrete, steel, etc.)

RIL has drawn up a special code of honor for members concerning the ethical aspects of civil engineering practice.
