The role and importance of standards in cost optimization and increased productivity and quality in constructing health centers

Standardization of building process in medical sectors has provided the ground for specialization levels, ensuring the future buildings will have better quality. The life span of Health Centers in Iran is only one quarter of same building in other countries, which leads to extra cost for both struct...
