Abstract
This paper describes the design of an ongoing pilot study on construction field rework measurement. It describes the measures developed, which include an industry standard classification system for identifying the causes of field rework, and an industry standard index for quantifying field rework. The data collection methodology is described, and the problems encountered and solutions found are presented. Using this methodology over time, the construction industry can develop an industry standard method of measuring field rework and assessing its causes, so that solutions can be developed to help prevent field rework.
