  • Abstract:

    Several countries are establishing statutory bodies to manage the improvement of their construction industries. The need for and benefits to be derived from such a body are not always appreciated. This paper reviews the activity of two of these bodies, outlines their essential features and demonstrate the role an institution of this nature can play. The factors to consider in setting up such an agency, the problems it might encounter and ways of making it effective are also discussed.
