We have had the distinct pleasure of working with BDA on a number of cutting-edge low-income housing projects. These projects serve as affordable housing models in our community and beyond. They are leaders in the field who have a commitment to the creation of beautifully designed, quality-built projects that are client-centered. The BDA team has deep and nuanced understanding of local codes and state requirements for the construction of affordable housing using LIHTCs. As a team, they are responsive to the needs of their clients and have a real commitment to the projects they undertake.

Our firm has worked with BDA Architecture and Planning on close to 100 projects over the last thirty years. BDA’s design is innovative, timely, and accurate. They collaborate beautifully with project team members and are quick to work through solutions at the jobsite. They genuinely love what they do and they’re an absolute pleasure to work with. BDA would be a great addition to your project team.

The BDA team are friendly, fun and just good people to work with which makes each job enjoyable. It is clear that the projects are not just a job for them but a way of life. As affordable housing is their specialty, they are very familiar with OHCS and other requirements that come from a variety of funding sources. They are very conscious of balancing budget with the need to create attractive housing that will stand the test of time.

BDA are leaders in the field of affordable housing design.

From the very beginning of a project BDA bring a deep understanding of affordable housing design to bear but work closely with the owner to understand the needs of future residents of the housing.

Without hesitation, I recommend BDA for architectural services for any affordable housing project.

BDA provides professional and creative design approaches, high level code expertise, knowledge and sensitivity to the design needs of affordable housing clients, through knowledge of public subsidy requirements, excellent communications and problem solving, timely attention to deadlines and knowledge of the process of work with tax credit partners.

BDA thoroughly understand the design needs of low-income residents; the complexities and implications for owners when using affordable housing financing; the importance of accurate code analysis for the project budget; and, how to resolve issues during construction while respecting the budget.

BDA genuinely shared our commitment to the project and helped foster the same commitment with the rest of the team.
