Guide to Construction Quality (Site Production and Assembly)

£40.00

This Guide provides a single point of information on construction Quality Management (QM) to establish best practice for site production and assembly.

Only available electronically. FREE to CIOB members.

Summary

The main focus of this guide is on how Quality Management is achieved during the site production process, including the requirements for ensuring quality is managed through the supply chain. A transformation and improvement challenge is needed to bring quality to the fore for the construction industry. Quality engineering should be an integral part of the construction industry. The focus is away from checking and remedying defects, and towards defect prevention.

Andy Pennock  MCIOB and Senior Quality & Compliance Manager @ Durkan Limited:

CIOB Conservation Conference

New ideas for tough times

The theme of this year's annual conference is balancing conservation needs against rising costs. It is ideal for professionals involved in historic or traditional buildings as well as homeowners who are embarking on their own project.

We have drawn together leading experts from the UK and Europe who will give delegates the inside track on how these projects were successfully delivered and how they can apply what was learned to their own decision making.
