ISO 9001 is the global standard for quality, and firms certified under the 2008 edition have three years to upgrade their quality systems to the new Standard. This book helps architects, engineers and other designers working in the built environment to develop appropriate quality systems that meet the requirements of the international Standard. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eImportantly, the 2015 Standard integrates risk management with quality, something that earlier versions did not. Risk is an extremely important factor in professional design practice, and this important element is fully explored in the new edition. Similarly, the role of BIM in quality management is addressed as an integral part of practice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInternational contributions from the USA and Australia provide expertise in each topic, and case studies from the USA, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and the United Nations Office of Project Services provide easy-to-follow illustrations of the important areas to understand. The focus is completely practical, rather than theoretical, affording readers a concise picture of how the issues of excellence and quality performance flow across every aspect of design practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharles Nelson\u003c\/strong\u003e, an American architect with a half-century of diversified experience, moved to Australia in 1984. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAustralia's foremost provider of ISO 9001 systems to building design professionals, and the author of McGraw Hill's 1996 book\u003ci\u003e TQM and ISO 9000 for Architects and Designers, \u003c\/i\u003eCharles is internationally recognized as an authority on the application of ISO 9001 to the design professions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe is the author of quality management sections in the American Institute of Architects' \u003ci\u003eArchitect's Handbook of Professional Practice\u003c\/i\u003e, 13th edition, and its \u003ci\u003eUpdate 2003\u003c\/i\u003e.
