The American Institute of Building Design has provided members with the resources they need to enhance performance and ensure continue growth and successes. AIBD was initially formed in 1950 by a group of California designers as a means of improving design standards to the highest possible level and to advance the general interest of the profession. Many of our state societies have had independent organizations dating from the late 1940s and early 1950s. Now the nationally recognized association of professional building designers, AIBD represents members in 44 states and has 17 chartered state societies as well as a growing membership in Canada.

Because of interest and expertise as well as individual state statutes, most AIBD members specialize in custom residential and small commercial projects. Our members are required to comply with the state statues and to follow the guidelines established by regional building codes. Our membership is recognized and supported by various state home builder associations and we have been recognized and authorized to certify plans and specification by the Farmers Home Administrations national office in Washington DC. Many of our members are also approved to certify plans for the Federal Housing Administration and the Veterans Administration on an individual basis. Many AIBD members serve on individual metropolitan area planning commissions and various municipal code review boards.

The national headquarters for AIBD is incorporated as a non-profit professional corporation and maintain headquarters in the east.
