    A quality plan is a document that is unique to every construction project (Chung, 1999). In the construction industry, the owner, or his perspective representative’s, such as the architect or engineer, indicate in the contract what must be included in the quality plan (Chung, 1999). A quality plan should be drawn up, or at least a draft of the plan, should be drawn up and submitted to the client with the bid documents. Chung (1999) feels that this will show the client the contractors’ dedications to quality in the project. He also believes that the key elements of the project quality plan is the companies’ quality manual, quality procedures, statutory regulations, inspection and test plan, and procedures specific to the project. When drafting the project plan, the project manager must keep in mind that the quality plan should be updated periodically to ensure it encompasses contract changes (Chung, 1999).…

    Before beginning construction civil engineers plan layout and every other aspect of a building.

It is through their collaboration that complex building can be designed. Designing the overall frame of a building is the first step in constructing a viable and stable structure. According with the Attila Lawrence’s article on the “architectureweeek” web page, “ In today’s competitive business environment, corporate cultures tend to focus on improving product quality while minimizing costs and managing risks”, (page 1 of 2). Furthermore, the English poet Sir Henry Wotton said: “ Well building have three conditions: Commoditie, Firmenes, and Delight” (qtd. In Architecture (building) page 1 of 19). Structure and aesthetics of a building are related through efficiency, lightness, elegance, and the principles of minimizing weight and using the least material possible to control cost. Civil engineers and architects together design in detail the various components of a building…
