In 1991, in Visegrad, the Presidents and the Prime Ministers of Hungary, Poland and Czechoslovakia inaugurated the operation of the Visegrad Group. After the formation of the Czech Republic and Slovakia in 1993, the so-called Visegrad Four V4 was finally established.

Cooperation between the chambers and building associations functioning within the countries of the Group started in 1994. Representatives of these organizations meet annually, each time in a different country in order to meet, often for scientific and technical conferences on various matters connected with construction. The meetings are an opportunity to exchange views on the current situation of chambers and building associations, and to discuss construction issues in individual V4 Group countries, as well as an opportunity to formulate a common position on the forum of EU countries.

The subjects of the meetings of the Group were, among others: sacral building, transport and communication networks in regional cooperation, the role of chambers and building associations after the accession of the Visegrad countries to the European Union, energy problems of the construction industry in the Visegrad countries, safety in construction, the city and its river, implementing changes in civil engineering education, BIM in contruction.

The first meeting was held in November 1994 in Bratislava, Slovakia, SKSI and SZSI were the organizers.

Twenty nine meetings of the Visegrad Group have been held so far, Poland was the organizer of seven meetings. They were held in Krynica (1995), in Kraków (1999 and 2003), in Serock (2007), Wrocław (2011), Gdańsk (2015) and in Łódź (2019).
