Abstract

Since construction project rework is one of the most important causes of cost overruns, the best strategy is to identify the causes of rework at the right time. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate and analyze the rework indicators (RIs) belonging three categories of organization, project, and people. To fulfill the objectives of this study, a structured survey was developed in order to collect data associated with various construction project characteristics, change orders, cost, and schedule performance. Appropriate statistical tests were applied to the 39 collected survey responses. The result reveals that the experience of the project management team PMT in the design and/or construction phase, and number of PMTs who work in a construction project are the most important indicators in deriving rework. The findings of this study would assist project managers (PMs) in planning proactively to prevent construction project rework.
