Building Designers Association
The Building Designers Association began in South Australia in 1961 when a group of people operating in the Architectural Design and Documentation profession wished to be set apart from the less proficient operators by means of unity and a Constitution demanding exacting standards of building design and documentation.
Those who possessed such foresight and ideals for the BDA were (in alphabetical order):
Peter Anderson, Noel Campbell, John Dyer, Rex Hogan & Rudi Reetz.
Today, the BDA operates in seven Australian states and Territories, namely, South Australia, New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, Western Australia, Tasmania and the Northern Territory.
The BDA represents designers who pursue design excellence in all building classifications - being responsive to their clients, the environment, ecological sustainability and partnering the various government authorities whose role it is to balance community needs.
We are committed to improving the Building Design Industry and providing additional value to the process so the consumer benefits from a higher level of service from professional designers.
The Association and its members enjoys a high level of respect from the general public, suppliers, manufacturers, government departments and key Industry bodies.
BDA Members include Australia’s leading non-architect building design specialists. Members have been invited to become involved at the highest levels in the production of documents, reports and policies for government and non-government bodies in the areas of heritage, industry codes of practice and ecologically sustainable design guides.
A Member of the Building Designers Association is someone who has achieved a high degree of proficiency through a combination of talent and industry training over many years. Membership is contingent upon having a degree of experience, qualifications and continuing professional development.
