Abstract
One of the key reasons for setbacks in construction projects in Nigeria is rework. In order to create efficient containment and reduction strategies, this study examined the causes of rework in construction projects, its influence on construction project performance, and proffer solutions to the causes of rework based on extant studies. A total of 140 questionnaires were distributed to the stratified population of various construction professionals. One hundred and eight questionnaires were duly completed and returned. Data were analysed using mean weighted value and regression analysis. The data analysis results revealed that poor coordination of design, the lack of effective quality management practices and alteration made at the clients' request were the topmost causes of rework. In addition, poor morale, time overrun and disputes were the first three most rated impact of rework inimical to construction project performance. It was concluded that the incidence of rework influences projects performance as it brings about poor morale of the workforce and dissatisfaction among end user. It was recommended that adherence to the solutions proffered to the topmost causes of rework will go a long way in improving construction project performance.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
