Effect Of Faulty Design And Construction On Building Maintenance

Effect Of Faulty Design And Construction On Building Maintenance

Abstract

The study examined the goods of defective design and construction on the conservation of structure. A check of aimlessly named samples of 20 builders and 15 engineers were conducted. Questionnaires were used to collect data from Engineers and Builders. The check included 11 groups of blights and sub blights in each groups. The predominant inflexibility goods of each blights was assessed and ranked grounded on the inflexibility indicator as ranked by both the Builders and the Engineers. The results shows that 7 blights were rated as utmost severe, 54 as relatively severe and 6 blights as slightly severe blights. The results also show that increase in conservation work is the most predominant goods on erecting conservation among other factors of disfigurement with an indicator value of100.00 as perceived by both the rank of the Engineers and that of the builders. The exploration still includes a thesis that Engineers and Builders generally agree on the ranking of the inflexibility blights which was tested and proven to be true. The study concluded that there should be a design review before eventually approving the design for construction; conservation expert shouldn’t be overlooked in the planning stage of the design and most importantly the employment of professionals for any structure systems.

Background of the Study

To fail to plan is to plan to fail.'( Wood, 2003)

The substance of all result- acquainted work may be linked in this citation. In the environment of design bone can acclimatize this expression to,’ if a developer fails to plan well the plan will turn out poorly’. In understanding this expression bone can use a law of drugs as a conceit. Newton’s third law of force is’ For every action there’s a response’. For contrivers this law could be interpreted as’ for every design decision/ consideration( action) there’s a consequence( response)’. As such this exploration tries to explore the conduct of design and the consequence of their conduct.

The relationship between design, construction and conservation is nearly affiliated but not fluently distinguished.( Maisarah, 2012) explained the vital part of design in the early stage of design operation. They stated that a functional design can promote skill; frugality, conveniences, and comforts while anon-functional design can impeded conditioning of all types of abstract from quality of care, and raise cost to intolerable situations. A typical byword by Vonnegut everybody want to make and nothing want to do conservation. In Nigeria erecting design are copied from other countries without considering the conditions that lead to similar design, hence conservation experts are infrequently included to advice on conservation effectiveness of similar design. In a affiliated development( Iyagba, 2005) reveal that there are substantial figures of people who don’t know the meaning of conservation.
