Factors influencing the quality of design documentation on South African civil engineering projects

摘要

This research explored the relative importance of factors within the design process that influence the quality of design documentation in South Africa. Thirty-four factors were identified from a comprehensive literature review and formulated into a questionnaire. An additional three factors were proposed during the pilot testing phase of the questionnaire. The consolidated thirty-seven factors were incorporated into a final web-based questionnaire administered to South African civil engineering consultants practising in CESA member firms.
