The aim of this research is estimation of design quality in the Republic of Croatia based on survey, and proposal of future continuous monitoring as a tool for tracking changes of design quality. Evaluation of the current state of quality of designs was based on first national survey conducted in June 2020 among construction sector professionals: designers and user of designs. The results of the research (a) identified key properties of design quality, (b) established basic reference data on the level of quality of designs in the Republic of Croatia, and (c) profiled a potency for improvement of design quality. Identification of key properties of design quality enabled introduction of design quality indexes. In conclusion, professional community is encouraged to implement activities that improve the key properties of design quality exctracted in current study as an essential part of improving design quality in general. Future continuous monitoring will show the results of these activities and expected improvement of design quality.
