Successful applicants may be asked to attend a panel interview in late October. These dates are still to be confirmed

RIBA Client Design Advisors (CDAs) guide clients through the process of commissioning buildings, helping them to maximise the value and quality of their projects.
The CDA is an RIBA-accredited role intended to meet the need for independent advice among public sector client groups such as the NHS, Partnerships for Schools and local authorities. Public bodies such as the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) and Office for Government Commerce (OGC) have pressed for its introduction as a means of increasing the long-term value of public sector projects to society and the environment.
The RIBA launched the CDA register in October 2005 and welcomes further applications from architects and other construction professionals. Further information on the CDA role and an entry form can be found on this section of the RIBA website.
