The process of securing a building permit is becoming more complex, if not just plain difficult. Property owners, builders and developers consistently look to the Design Professional to provide the level of expertise necessary for comprehensive design development, and accurate permit and construction documents.

The Washington Society of AIBD supports its Architect and Building Designer members with the opportunity for professional to professional association and, continuing education seminars and courses. These are structured to increase their level of skill and knowledge in their field of practice.

Both Architects and Professional Building Designers are recognized by the AIBD as Design Professionals.

Licensed Architects are authorized to practice in all areas of architecture including residential and commercial design.

Professional Building Designers produce over 80% of the permit documents submitted, locally and nationally, for single family residence construction. A Professional Building Designer is considered a specialist in residential and light commercial design and construction practices.
