  • Abstract:

    The paper analyses the issues of social status and performance evaluation amongst the design and construction professions. Detailed results of a 1985 study of inter-occupational evaluation are presented and compared to the well-known similar study published in 1965 by the Tavistock Institute. Potential implications of the results are drawn out for education and training, working relationship, work organization and inter-professional relationships in the construction industry.
