ABSTRACT
Quality Assurance (QA) has become an important issue within the UK over the last two or three years and the construction industry has been no exception to this rapid increase of awareness.
This paper focusses on the position of the construction-related professions, viz: architects, engineers and surveyors, although the arguments probably translate in large part to the contracting side of the industry. The current position is reviewed, problem areas identified and possible ways forward proposed.
