Australian Institute of Architects 

The Australian Institute of Architects (AIA) is a national body consisting of almost 10,000 members across Australia and overseas. The Institute was formed in 1930 when state architectural Institutes combined to form a unified national association with the following aims:

• To advance architecture
• To maintain the integrity and standing of the profession
• To promote the profession's views nationally and internationally, and
• To encourage the study of architecture

The AIA promotes better, responsible and environmental design and actively lobbies to maintain and improve the quality of our built environment. Raising design standards in our cities, urban areas, commercial and residential buildings, architects and the Institute have a major role in shaping Australia's future.

The AIA has established the highest professional standards. Members are encouraged to undertake Continuing Professional Development (CPD), are obliged to behave in accordance with a Code of Professional Conduct and as a result are more likely to be better informed and more up-to-date on all matters architectural.

Grand Designs

Grand Designs Australia tells the stories of new homes and perhaps more importantly the Aussies who are building them. Based on the award-winning UK series, Grand Designs Australia is the first international format of the critically acclaimed show.

Grand Designs Australia charts the in-depth process of elaborate design projects undertaken by self-builders - from the initial details of blueprints, to the long and often arduous task of turning the designs into a practical living space.

No design is too ambitious when it comes to creating your dream home. But discovering the hard realities that complicate your plans can often be too much to bear. From rebuilding a labour of love in the Victorian bush after it was burnt to the ground in the Black Saturday bushfires; to transforming a tiny corner car park into a five level home in the urban jungle; and a cyclone proof, tropical tree house that is windowless and based on the shape of a 50 cent piece; Grand Designs Australia follows not only the growth of these unique homes, but the personal journeys of those building them.

The host is incredibly important to the show’s success and leading Australian architect Peter Maddison has over 25 years experience. Peter has an in depth understanding of Australian architecture and our climate, culture and history.

The Master Builders Association of Victoria

The Master Builders Association of Victoria was established in 1875 by a group of distinguished builders intent on raising standards withtin the industry.Since that time the organisation has grown to become a pre-eminent industry voice with members universally renowned for their reliability, skill and professionalism.

Master Tradesman is an exciting new membership category which helps fulfil this ambition by recognising the most competent tradesmen within building and construction. Research conducted with Master Builders trade subcontractors revealed that qualified tradesmen want the recognition they deserve, separating them from the industry's ‘cowboys’.

To address this need, the Association has launched Master Tradesman to deliver the following benefits to our industry:

• Recognition of skilled tradesman among community and their peers;
• A career progression for apprentices and tradesman; and,
• Creation and enforcement of higher standards in the marketplace

Archicentre has partnered with the Master Builders, as we know that it can be difficult to find good tradespeople.
