Impact Of Rework On Cost And Time Performance Based On Coimbatore Construction Industry

Abstract

Rework has become a troublemaker in the construction industry, and it has not been given the required
consideration; it contributes to time and cost overruns in the project. Hence, to improve the
performance of projects, the study evaluated rework in 52 building projects in India. The factor
contributing to rework, which was measured with different work categories, identifies the severity of
rework. A questionnaire was self-administered on projects identified, and rework factors were ranked
according to the degree of severity. This study develops the rework reporting system, which is used to
facilitate information retrieval at any moment and to be used as a learning tool to prevent further
rework events on future projects
