SPIN Meeting and Training Workshop in Tanzania,from 30th June to 6th July 2012
TO BUILD STRUCTURE LIKE THAT YOU NEED:
� People (experts, workers, logistics)� Machines, vehicles, equipment,
materials, products...
But before all that you need� Knowledge, Science� Legislation� Regulations and Standards� Investor, Designers, building permits...
Introduction
Faults and defects that may occureduring all phases of construction
project and especially duringconstruction phase can result with
very large subsequent costs or even complete cancellation of
structure or some part of structure
QUALITY ASSURANCE AND QUALITY CONTROL IN ALL
STAGES OF CONSTRUCTION PROJECT IS VERY IMPORTANT
That is why
CONCEPTUAL DESIGN� Preliminary specifications for
construction and maintenance� Specifications for design
INVESTMENT STUDY� Market Analysis� Economic and financial analysis� Financial structure� Period of investment return
Introduction - The flow of the construction project
DESIGN� Project specification� Specifications for materials,
equipment, parts and assemblies� Essential requirements for building� Load capacity, usability, durability� Building permits
CONSTRUCTION� Execution specification� Supervision� Technical inspection of the
building� Handing over the building

Legislations in EU and in Croatia
Adaptation and harmonization of legislation with EU legislation is based on the principles:
� New Approach, NA Council Resolution 85/C 136/01 of 7 May 1985 on a new approach to technical harmonization and standards.
� Global Approach, GA Council Resolution 90/C 10/01 of 21 December1989 on a global approach to conformity assessment
Croatia will become a member of the EU 01.07.2013, and is adapted all its legislation to that which applies to the EU market

HRN EN ISO 9001:2008 Quality management systems
Today's business conditions, competition, large EU market dictate greaterrequirements than the legal minimum so it is very important for construction
companies:
� to establish, document and implement Quality Management System (QMS)
� it is recommended that contractors introduce a quality management system
according to the requirements of HRN EN ISO 9001:2008, ensuring a process
approach and continuous measurable improvement in quality
� QMS is not legally required but the investors are increasingly requiring
in a tender
All this indicated earlier in this paper represents:
Minimum requirements for quality control of concrete on constructionsite – in accordance with Technical regulation for concrete structures
(OG 139/09, 14/10, 125/10)
The main factors of quality management
� Inspection, verification� Quality control (QC)� Quality assurance (QA)� Total Quality Management (TQM)
Quality is the ability to feature products, systems or processes to meet customer requirements and other interested parties.
Few definitions:
Quality is customer satisfaction.
The quality is the compliance with the requirements.
HRN EN ISO 9001:2008 Quality management systems
HRN EN ISO 9001:2008 Quality management systemsThe basic principle of quality management in execution is a process approachProcess approach is a strategy of management
Quality Management System is a network of processes
The process consists of: people, work, activities, tasks,records, documents, forms, resources, policies,regulations, reports, materials, supplies, equipment
The application of any standards is voluntary.
The decision on the application of certain standards each participant accepts “game rules" about the consistent application of that standard
Standards are mandatory, if the laws and regulations refer to them
HRN EN ISO 9001:2008 Quality management systems
The benefit of implementing a quality management system:
� Improving the quality of services� Increase employee motivation� Successful teamwork (which contributes to the compactness and
unity of the department)� Continuous training of staff (which affects the steadily increasing expertise)� Improving co-operation with clients� Continuous improvement of the quality system� Better position to market and greater resistance to the instability of the
market� A better quality of execution, greater durability of the building, better
visual impression and surface quality� Material saving� Better safety, less injuries at work
HRN EN ISO 9001:2008 QMS
HRN EN ISO 9001:2008 QMSImplementation on construction site
In order to successfully manage the quality management process for concretestructure execution except compliance with all legal requirements it is
necessary to implement the following:
� Very thoroughly study all the execution documentation and resolve all doubtsbefore starting work with other participants in construction
� Establish a system of quality control and quality assurance of reinforcedconcrete structures execution, to determine the responsible person, duties andresponsibilities
� All activities within the process clearly define and document� Define a way to manage changes during the execution and responsible person� Appoint the internal control of execution� Plan and provide training for all participants whose work affects the quality� Define a procedure for resolving non-compliance performance� Prepare a Quality plan for execution of concrete structures which is aligned with
the main project, define personnel in quality control and quality assurance� Obtain an independent assessment of the management process for execution
of concrete structures in order to create trust between contractor andcontracting authority
Conclusion
� Process of adaptation building regulations to EU regulations (Laws,technicalregulations ,Decrees, Regulations, Standards) in Croatia is almost finished
