ABSTRACT
The construction of a civil work can be regarded as an industrial process aimed to realize the planned design. The correspondence between the design and the work as built depends largely on the procedures performed during construction. These procedures should be adequate to the scopes and carefully controlled in order to meet the design specifications. Control procedures therefore play a central role for the quality of the construction. The control activity should not be only intended to the final satisfaction of design specifications, but also aimed to the intervention on the construction process in maintaining the standard requirements of the product. The use of proper analysis instruments of process control, largely involved in industrial process control, are particularly attractive also referred to civil construction processes.
