setback is rework. Rework is defined as the unnecessary effort of redoing an

activity that was inaccurately done the first time (Love, 2002). In essence, rework

and wastages have become recognized as non-value adding endemic symptoms

that seriously affect the performance and productivity aspects of construction

projects (Alwiet al, 2002).

Palaneeswaran (2006), stated that the construction industry is mainly project-based

and various complexities are inherent in the construction projects such as dealing

in some instances; however, uncontrolled occurrences of rework and wastages

should actually be more effectively controlled. This will essentially improve
