The U.S. Institute of Building Documentation (USIBD) is a non-profit organization dedicated to furthering excellence of building documentation on an international scale by promoting, educating, guiding and supporting stakeholders with an interest in the built environment in a way that cultivates networking and information sharing.
The USIBD was founded to promote and facilitate:
The idea for the USIBD originated from John Russo’s frustration with the construction industry. He faced challenges in finding a reliable source for standards, best practices, education, updates on new technologies, opportunities for connection with peers in the building documentation field.
Upon exploring various building industry membership organizations, he realized that there was no dedicated organization in the United States specifically catering to the needs of the building documentation community. In 2008, he had the initial thought that there should be a centralized hub where people can access the resources necessary to foster the growth of their businesses.
In speaking with colleagues, he soon discovered there were many others facing similar challenges. In a 2010 conversation with Tom Greaves, the founder of the SPAR Conference, John suggested such an organization should be formed. Tom asked, “why not present your idea in a session at the next SPAR Conference?”
