The Commission's mission is to promote good engineering practices to improve the work of engineers in the building and construction process. The Commission is composed of representatives of individual sections of the IZS, whereas the professional services of IZS provide all the technical and operational assistance the Commission needs for its work. Through the work of the Commission moreover, the IZS wishes to contribute to improving the quality of engineering services and the quality of building and construction works as such. Services supported by the expertise and innovation of engineers have been one of the most important foundations for the successful economic growth of our country in the past, remain so in the present and shall be still more in the future.
