As Egan said it’s all about ‘Quality’

Quality being defined as that which,maximizes the ‘value added to society’ from the creation, use and deconstruction of the built environment, whilst working to continually reduce the ‘loss to society’ that results.

four points arise from this

1. only society can decide what it thinks ‘adds value’, not business alone

2. losses can be economic, environmental or social

3. reducing losses reduces risk and moves a process in the direction of sustainability

4. Quality and sustainability are the two sides of the same coin, toss it and you can only win
