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 activities of two of these bodies, outlines their essentialfeatures and demonstrates 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.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
