perform the same function of being a regulation procedure for Architecture and Engineering, from
the Analysis it could be derived that one of this decree was derived from the Other .
From the deductions it could said that ARCON Decree was the first to be in Existence as the
COREN was drafted with Reference to the ARCON Decree with addition of various subtitles to aid
guidelines too Engineering and Engineering Works.
This Comparison Dictates the Superiority of the ARCON Decree Over other Decree in this
other Consultants field but more majorly over the COREN Decree in this Context.
