摘要

The reduction of design fees on the UK since the start of the 1990 recession ha emphasized the need to reduce waste and improve efficiency of the design process. Quality management and its application to the building design process is still a relatively new technique as are the concepts of waste, quality and efficiency. Waste, quality an efficiency are concepts which are difficult to appreciate an quantify in building design. Factors contributing to waste in building design design are examined and appear to be mainly management problems.
