  • Abstract:
    This paper summarizes a research project that was conducted on the development and use of international standards and the ISO 9000 series of quality standards in the construction industry. The research investigated all aspects of international standards and included an extensive survey of members of the construction industry and members of related industries. The methods used for the study are presented along with the results obtained and an analysis of the results. The topics covered include: involvement in the development of international standards, competitiveness issues related to international standards, awareness of standards, the importance of international standards, the regulation of standards, the use of standards, the ISO 9000 registration process, the importance of ISO 9000, and results from hypothesis tests.
