| Summary: | Rework has become a menace in Nigerian construction industry and it has not been
given required attention, it contributes to time and cost overruns in project. Hence, to
improve the performance of projects the research work evaluated rework in some
selected building projects in Niger State. The work identified some factors contributing to
rework which was categorized under three main headings; technical, quality and human
resources factors to actually dig down into the casual of rework. A structure questionnaire
was self administered on projects identified to have experienced rework amongst the
selected projects and these were ranked according to their perceived degree of severity.
Response was further condensed using factor analysis to group the variables into
identifiable factors and thus analyzed. The study revealed that sub-standard services
rendered by professionals and lack of commitment to quality in term of project delivery by
stakeholders are the main source of rework. Therefore, it was recommended that an
improvement and total commitment to quality of services render and assurance would
lead to a reduction in the occurrence of reworks as revealed by the research. |
