Occasion 2:

Here, you will be choosing a project between Steel Structure design (RIICWD534E) or Urban Road design (RIICWD509E) which you have already completed and prepare a detailed quality management documentation/plan for it.

While completing the detailed quality management plan on both the occasion, you need to adhere by the following guidelines to establish and maintain the framework for the quality system.
