Overview

The 1994 CDM (Construction (Design and Management)) Regulations placed new demands upon those engaged in the construction industry. The question of how these demands are to be best identified, managed and controlled has become a major issue for many organizations. Several of the better organizations already have in place well-proven quality management systems, which help them to demonstrate their professionalism and to win and manage contracts. Can such systems be adapted to meet the additional requirements of CDM? This methodical and 'easy to follow' book demonstrates how this can be achieved and why quality systems provide such a practicable and effective framework for CDM compliance. Many in the construction industry will find the advice and ideas in this book invaluable. Whether you are a client organization, local authority, architectural or design practice, or contractor, this book provides a down-to-earth demystification of an area which can seem daunting to many.
