DBIA offers two types of membership--Individual Membership and Industry Partner Membership. Read more about each type of membership below.
Individual Membership
Individual members span the entire spectrum of design and construction professionals including architects, engineers, specialty contractors, owners, consultants, lawyers, business development professionals, students and academia. Individual membership is a way for those whose organizations have not yet decided to become DBIA Industry Partner to become that organization’s design-build champion, leading the way for others. DBIA Individual members receive preferential access to all of DBIA’s events and products, as well as substantial discounts on all our products and services. Members also have access to a number of business growth tools, such as epipeline, DBIA’s own project leads page, legislative reports and the annual Membership Directory.
