Design Quality Indicator

The first Design Quality Indicator (DQI) was launched on 8 July 2002. The DQI is a method of assessing the quality of buildings and can be used by anybody involved in the production of the built environment. The DQI measures the degree of excellence of a facility in relation to its build quality, functionality and impact. Further information about the DQI can be found at www.dqi.org.uk.

This report produced by the KPI Working Group set out a comprehensive framework that construction enterprises could use to measure their performance against the rest of the industry. It has been designed to be used by organisations, large or small, specialist or supplier, designers or constructors.
