• The reduction of the risk of damage associated with development projects, in particular due to anomalies in the construction process
• Favourable conditions for the reduction of liability and construction insurance premiums
The technical capability of applicants for the qualification of GENERAL QUALITY MANAGER, is assessed with respect to their present and past activity, the curricula of their permanent technical staff, the organisational structure and size and respective resources, including specialised personnel and equipment.
