The BDAA National Design Awards is one of Australia’s most prestigious building design awards, showcasing the best building designs across 29 distinct categories and announced at a gala dinner 29 October in Melbourne.
The Building Design Association of Australia is Australia’s leading peak body representing residential, commercial, and industrial building designers, architects, landscape architects, thermal performance assessors and design students.
Mr Ross, who has a background in building and construction, said he was thrilled to participate in the judging process, noting the role of certified-timber in achieving sustainability and circularity in the built-environment.
“Timber is the ultimate building material; it is the ultimate renewable. However, the sustainability of timber can only be verified through the sustainable management of the forest and monitored for conformity through the supply chain,” he said.
“That’s what Responsible Wood is all about. We are third party certification system, with more than 300 suppliers carrying formal-claims through the timber-supply chain.”
“I look forward to judging entries across the full spectrum of residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, providing BDAA members and stakeholders with the information they need to carry Responsible Wood-claims through the supply chain,” Mr Ross said.
