Quality Management of Constructions

FAST-BW54Acad. year: 2010/2011

Technology as a production process science. Explanation of this science as an area of human activity for which the human kind spends the major part of its time and power. Affecting of a living standard of each individual whereby the construction quality management ranks to the youngest branches of science.
The aim is to provide an idea of the present building industry with increasing portion of jobs on a subcontract basis. The necessity of the approach shifting towards understanding of the building technology branch from the point of view of planning pf organising and control of a wide scope of activities and pointing out of new effective approaches in the context of present terms.
