Abstract
Poor communication of designer-produced information can lead to mistakes and delays in the design process. The aim of the paper is to find ways to ensure efficient communication of quality design information via a communication analysis framework. Three major factors of efficient quality design information communication can be identified: teamwork, individual awareness and development, and organizational support. The results indicate that concentrating on these key concepts could help improve the quality of design information.
