Analysis the Causes and Impact of Defect in Building Construction

In countries like India, construction industry plays a significant part to develop the economy. But many time this construction industry is blamed for poor quality, delay in completion of work and losses gain during the project period. The rate of construction project accomplishment is weak because of the rapid increasing rate of major defects in building as a result of poor workmanship and poor quality materials which have been identified as the major cause of defects in the construction industry .Construction defects are very common and frequently arising in construction project, especially in the project which has poor workmanship, poor project management in the construction site. Construction defect can be known as major problem in the construction industry that could cause the value of building decreases. As the defect impact on time and cost overrun, identification of defect at early stage of construction makes easy to complete project in stipulated timing. This helps to avoid or minimize defect in future work. Numerous analytical or statistical methods are available for analyzing impacts and selection of proper method depends upon: statistical data, time limitation of method. This information further helps to fix responsibilities, penalties on various parties involved in construction. This data is also required for suggesting different selection of remedial measures for improving useful life of structure. The purpose of this study is to review various symptoms & causes of construction defects occurring in construction project. Identify the defect through questionnaire survey, interviews, also study the causes of defect of construction and impact of defect in construction project. finally in giving the conclusion, recommendation of defect in building construction.
