Rework overruns for building construction projects

  Ekta Patel,  Neetu B Yadav

Rework is defined as unnecessary process of re-doing a work activity that was incorrectly carried out the first time. Rework is a major contributor to time wastage and schedule overruns which eventually impact on cost, resources and quality. To carry out this research work we had considered two residential projects. The study has conducted for the area of Surat region of south Gujarat. This Study has been conducted for the Objective, to calculate total cost growth and schedule growth from rework. From this study we are able to say that cost growth for both projects are between 20-26% and schedule growth for both projects are between 11-34% from the original. From this Study we conclude that rework is generated due to inadequate practices and avoidance of the stakeholders so it’s necessary to efficiently execute the work and must be follow all the necessary guidelines so that total amount of rework and overrun can mitigate. It’s also clearly visible that cost and schedule growth effected due to rework in the construction project.
