Council of Publishing Designers - A need for a publishing designers council always existed. There are over 100 building designers and residential architects producing plans for the national pre-drawn homeplan market, and hundreds more working regionally.
There were questions of copyright and liability, a need for uniform plan standards, a common recognizable seal for assurance of the general public, and the need for networking between the designers and the publishers.
The first meeting was held in Houston in January of 1995 and a steering committee was established to assist in the formation of a council. The steering committee met in Orlando in March of 1995 and the council was formed as an entity politically separate from AIBD but nonetheless involved.
