Zusammenfassung:In the past two years, the number of companies registered under ISO 9000 has increased by over 400% (747 to 3,134) in Canada and over 300% (3,146 to 10,199) in the U.S. These statistics demonstrate an unmistakable trend toward the implementation of quality systems. Construction Quality Auditing dovetails with the megatrend towards quality systems in general. It provides a start for owners, engineers and contractors to not only improve the level of quality in their projects, but also to improve the productivity of the construction industry.
