Abstract
Ghana has come to an intersection of construction boom, which coincides with her 50th Anniversary. So many infrastructures are going on, initiated by private developers and governmental agencies. One issue being failed to be addressed is the quality of construction work being produced, in terms of buildings especially. There is also a major challenge that designers and contractors face in the execution of their profession, that is, the location of well- manufactured finishing products. There is generally a lack of information on them making them inaccessible to the public. Additionally, there are few or no guiding policy programmes for the design and construction industry and inadequate infrastructure and human resource skills in the retail and education of design. It is the aim that this study will bring out the, key issues affecting the design and construction industry and the aim to find out practical solutions that will resolve aid in resolving these issues.
