Abstract :
Defects in construction can compromise the
safety of a building’s occupants. Construction defects
can also lead to legal disputes between property owner’s
contractors, architects and other parties involved in the
construction process. Resolving these disputes can be
time consuming and costly. The first step to solve the
building construction defects is to conduct a thorough
inspection of the building to identify all existing defects.
Determine the root cause of each defect. This may
involve investigating construction practices, material
quality, design flows, Environmental Factors and other
contributing factors. Understanding the underlying
cause is essential for developing effective solution and
preventing recurrence. In this paper we used manual
survey of 20 buildings from selected area to collect data.
To depicts the true scenario of building defects we
selected seven different parameter named crack; rising
dampness; peeling paint; fungi attack; moisture in air;
spalling of concrete tilting; Efflorescence and Seepage.
After Analyzing the data, we found that the highest
percentage of defect was peeling paint around 20.33% of
the building, While the effect of efflorescent was the
lowest point of about 5.69%. In conclusion, from the
result it is clear that construction defects in Bangladesh
is a significant problem. It is important to carry out the
necessary repairs, replacements or modifications
according to the remediation plan. This may involve
coordinating with contractors, suppliers and other
relevant parties to ensure that the work is completed
correctly and effectively.
