After discussing the most recent statistic on construction failures and proving that such failures occur in inverse proportion to the level of supervision applied during the various stages of the construction process, the article enters into the subjects of production control and receiving control, analyzing the evolution of both concepts in recent times. The design, materials selection, construction and maintenance stages are individually studied with indication of the weak points currently recognized in each stage. The article ends with the presentation of the modern quality assurance concept and describing the changes that can be expected in the future as the result of the new ideas in the way buildings are conceived and designed.
