The aim of this survey is to obtain information from construction practitioners about the causes, costs and effects of rework in construction and engineering projects so that effective reduction and containment strategies can be developed. In construction, direct rework costs have been found to be considerable. These costs could be even higher as they do not incorporate the latent costs and disruption caused by schedule delays, litigation and other intangible aspects of poor quality.
For the purpose of this survey rework is defined as "the unnecessary effort of re-doing a process or activity that was incorrectly implemented the first time".
You should relate your answers specifically to a recently completed project that you have been involved with. The survey will take approximately 20 minutes to complete.
Upon request, those who participate in the study will receive a free copy of a report summarizing the results of this survey.
