The predecessor of Civil Engineering Academy of Jiangxi Province was the Taihe Branch of the Chinese Society of Engineers, which was founded in 1942 (Taihe is the capital city of Jiangxi province at that time), with a professional academic organization of civil, architecture, water conservancy and bridges, until the eve of the founding of the people's Republic of China.
In 1952, the Nanchang branch of China Civil Engineering Society was established. In 1964, it was renamed the Chinese Civil Engineering Society and the Jiangxi branch of the Chinese Architectural Society. The academy was forced to suspend activities during the cultural revolution. Resumed in November 1979, now the fourth council, with the following 13 Specialized Committee and research institutes: architectural creation, architecture, construction, construction economy, building and electrical, HVAC, thermal power, urban planning, municipal engineering, city gas, garden greening, computer applications, space structure Professional Committee The association and the scientific research association of construction co ordinate and management. 6 Specialized Committee are preparing for construction: Village and town construction, foundation, concrete, engineering anti-seismic, water supply and drainage, building materials.
The academic activities of the academy mainly focus on urban planning, urban reconstruction, housing construction and other aspects, and actively carry out academic exchanges, design program competition, advanced construction technology promotion and application and local special research and research. These activities played an academic leading role in promoting the development of Engineering Technology in this province. In the work of scientific and technological consultation, they focus on scientific demonstration and decision consultation, including urban planning and construction, the development and prediction of the waterworks, the quality of the buildings, the adding of the buildings, the strengthening of the primary and middle school buildings, the design and demonstration of the foundation foundation, the counselling of the HVAC technology and the bidding for the bidding of the project. As well as the development and appraisal of new technologies and new products, good social and economic benefits have been achieved. In the field of science education, they actively carry out the popularization of basic knowledge and the continuing education of engineering and technical personnel, publish primary and secondary technical readings, organize academic lectures, report meetings, training classes, and hold exhibitions, etc. These technical education activities play an important role in improving the technical quality and practical working ability of young and middle-aged engineering technicians.
江西省土木建筑学会的前身是1942年成立的中国工程师学会泰和分会（泰和是当时江西省的省会城市），设有土木、建筑、水利、桥梁等专业学术组织，直至建国前夕。
1952年成立中国土木工程学会南昌分会。1964年改名为中国土木工程学会和中国建筑学会江西省分会。文化大革命时期学会被迫中止活动。1979年11月恢复，现为第4届理事会，设有以下13个专业委员会和研究会：建筑创作、建筑结构、建筑施工、建筑经济、建筑电气、暖通空调、热能动力、城市规划、市政工程、城市煤气、园林绿化、计算机应用、空间结构专业委员会和建筑统筹与管理科学研究会。有6个专业委员会正在筹建：村镇建设、地基基础、混凝土、工程抗震、给水排水、建筑材料。
学会的学术活动主要围绕城市规划、城市改造、住房建设等方面，积极开展学术交流、设计方案竞赛、先进施工技术推广应用和地方性专题的调查研究等。这些活动对推动本省工程建设技术的发展起了学术先导作用。在科技咨询工作中，着重进行科学论证和决策咨询，包括城市规划与建设，自来水事业发展预测，房屋建筑的质量问题，楼房加层，中小学校舍危房加固处理，地基基础设计与论证，暖通空调技术咨询，工程招投标的标底测算，以及新技术新产品的开发鉴定等，取得了较好的社会效益和经济效益。在科普教育方面，积极开展基础知识普及和工程技术人员的继续教育；出版初中级技术读物；组织学术讲座、报告会、培训班，以及举办展览会等。这些技术教育活动，对提高中青年工程技术人员的技术素质和实际工作能力起了重要作用。
