Which of the factors mentioned below mainly affect the quality of conformance (meaning: work as per Standard) in construction? i. Technical Specifications ii. Site construction methods iii. Engineering and design process iv. Supervision and control
- A(i) and (iii)
- B(ii) and (iv)Correct
- C(i) and (iv)
- D(ii) and (iii)
Solution
Concept
Quality of design vs conformance
Step-by-step solution
1. Quality of design depends on specifications and the engineering/design process. 2. Quality of conformance depends on how the work is built and controlled: site methods and supervision.
Explanation
Conformance = execution quality.
Why the other options are wrong
Specifications and design relate to quality of design.
Shortcut
Design quality ← specs, design; conformance ← methods, supervision.
Correct answer: B) (ii) and (iv)
