TLDR
In this article, the authors identify the underlying factors that influence rework in projects and propose strategies for reducing the incidence of rework and discuss the factors that contribute to its occurrence.Abstract:
Construction professionals recognize that rework is a significant factor contributing to poor project performance, yet little is known about its antecedents and consequently it remains an innate problem. Because factors that contribute to its occurrence are not fully understood, the derivation of appropriate strategies for its reduction is problematic. Therefore, a comprehensive appreciation of the mechanisms that cause rework will enable project performance improvements to be made. Two longitudinal case studies were undertaken to determine the antecedents of rework. Based on the findings presented, strategies for reducing the incidence of rework are identified and discussed. This paper contributes to study of quality in construction by identifying the underlying factors that influence rework in projects.read more

TL;DR: In this article, a generic framework is developed that classifies design error according to people, the organization, and project is presented, and suggests that people, over and above organizational and project management strategies, have the greatest propensity to reduce errors through the process of situated learning and knowing.

TL;DR: In this paper, the quality of work assignments in production units such as construction crews and engineering squads is the key to production control and for determining production unit productivity, and it has been shown that quality assignments can be substantially improved by forming and selecting them to meet soundness, sequence, and size criteria.
