Accreditation

In an effort to raise the standard of building construction documentation and to provide greater levels of professionalism to Clients, Builders, Contractors and Councils, the Building Designers Association of New South Wales (BDA) has recently introduced a system of independent accreditation for Building Designers.

This scheme is endorsed and promoted by the BDA and can apply to all design professionals not covered by alternate and appropriately recognised schemes.

The scheme is further recognised by The NSW Department of Community Services (DoCS) and is a requirement for all Building Designers practicing in the Child Care industry.

Please feel free to discuss your requirements with our Director.

The BDA looks forward to processing your application for Accreditation, and in-line with the requirements of DoCS, as detailed above,we welcome the interest of non-members who also need to be able to demonstrate their level of expertise.

  

 

 

Risk Management has always been seen by the Building Designers Association as one of the fundamental factors in having a satisfactory, professional design practice.

PI Insurance is a mandatory part of our Accreditation process as it is with all registration and licensing protocols, the Insurance industry regard Risk Management as a very import factor when assessing the cost of a PI policy and as such will reward all Building Designers and Architects who undertake and maintain a recognised RM program as part of their management practice. BDANSW is please to provide a program that has been acknowledged by all the major insurers in our industry as part of our ongoing commitment to this process.
