"According to Lupton (2013) any decision that affects the final form or composition of the building is a design decision. Design covers a wide spectrum, from strategic space planning to the smallest level of detail. Conceptual design involves identifying needs or requirements, analysing possible solutions to a properly thought out decision as to which design will be most promising. The next is the detailed design phase which has the mission to reduce the concept in the conceptual phase to a practical scheme design that
will show whether a useful end product is likely to emerge. As a result of the detailed design a set of detailed drawings, specifications and other documents have to be produced so that manufacturing and quality targets, together with satisfactory service in
the field, can be achieved (Design Council Committee, 1976). The designer’s task is not finished until it has been shown that the product can be manufactured, tested and maintained to cost targets, and that it performs properly at all points in the specified performance. An exact definition of “design” and “designer” has to be done in contract documents meaning the same thing to all the contractual parties. There will not be any room for confusion between parties. Design in this paper mean, “to design is to decide.
This will avoid the confusion from “workmanship”, which is taken to be the “manner” in which the work is carried out. Quality in design and construction has to be treated as one. Quality means right first tie, delivery on time and to budget, innovating for the
benefit of the client and minimising waste. Design quality is critical for the success of any construction project. There is a significant role for clients in promoting good design. Good design promote value for money (VFM) in terms of total cost, sustainability and
environmental concerns. The primary concern of procurement is to determine how the asset (building or civil engineering project) will be obtained. Procurement involves the conversion of an idea or possible requirement for construction by the Client into an
expression of demand; the conversion of the expression into a decision and the conversion of the decision into a fully designed and completed project ready for use. Design issues and contractual responsibility for the parties varies in in different procurement routes. This paper aims to give an overview and find out the relation between procurement routes, design and quality parameters in construction projects."
