The voice for Queensland’s building design profession
What we do
BDQ is the peak body representing building design industry professionals in Queensland. We believe that the building design industry is fundamental in shaping Queensland’s built environment.
To keep our members at the forefront of the industry, BDQ performs a wide range of functions aimed at advocating for our profession and supporting our members to make our built environment better. BDQ’s role is to protect our members and provide certainty to their clients that they are partnering with a qualified, reputable and experienced building designer.
What we stand for
How we’ve evolved
BDQ is now a thriving, independent Queensland organisation that collaborates with other state and national associations to enhance the public recognition of building designers at local, state and national levels.
Since we formed as BDAQ in 1990, our mission has been to protect our profession, enhance our standing and support our members. In 1993, after 3 years of lobbying, building designers were officially licensed under The Queensland Building Services Authority Act.
