British Institute of Interior Design

[1] It remains the only professional membership organisation for the interior design industry in the UK to hold institute status.

[citation needed] The BIID aims to promote professionalism in interior design and to this end has published jointly with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA)[2] the standard form of designer's appointment, ID/05 (updated as ID/10).

The Institute has also sponsored the publication of The BIID Interior Design Job Book (also with the RIBA),[3] the first book to set out the procedures for managing an interior design project.

[4] The BIID is the only interior design body which is a member of the Construction Industry Council[5] the umbrella body for professional organisations in the construction industry.

It is also a UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) Design Partner,[6] the government body promoting British services abroad and a member of the International Federation of Interior Architects/Designers,[7] the umbrella body for interior designers worldwide.
