The AIBD is meeting the challenge of the future by educating members about new and improved building materials and technology that will impact how we live in the future. For those who have chosen the profession of building design, there is no greater evidence of competency than achieving the status of Certified Professional Building Designer (CPBD). Application for this certification is available to building designers, architects and engineers - both professional members of the AIBD and non-AIBD members - who qualify.
