“…Overall, it is required to be noted that rework occurs at various stages of a project. Non-etheless, when the emphasis is given to managing rework at the early stages, the impacts of rework will be reduced in the following steps (Ma et al, 2019). Thus, rework management at the design and procurement stages may result in fewer numbers of rework in downstream phases such as construction (Hossain and Chua, 2013).…”

Rework is an interesting topic in the contract management of construction projects. An effective way of improving performance on construction projects is to manage rework. However, managing rework is challenging because of the dynamic nature of construction activities. A rational starting point is the identification of the root causes of rework then a framework for its management can be developed for improving construction performance. This paper reviews rework-related studies in the construction industry through a critical review of literature to investigate the main causes of rework in the construction contracts. A content analysis of the previously proposed classification methods for rework revealed that all rework causes could be grouped under various project stages. The causes of rework also could be ascribed to different project parties. However, previous studies have suggested various categories of rework, there is no commonly used classification model for rework causes in construction contracts. The current study proposes a model in three levels to address this gap. The developed model categorised rework causes in five constructs linked to three main stages of the project under two liable contract parties. The study findings show that the procurement stage has fewer categories of rework causes than design and construction. The result also reveals that the involvement level of contract parties in rework occurrence can be investigated in contract documents. Thus, this paper suggests further research in procurement stage to address rework causes in the contract conditions.

The List, Evaluate, Achieve, Procure (LEAP) process defines a methodology for mathematically associating the delivery of system capabilities with the temporal satisfaction of stakeholder needs while identifying technologies at high risk of imparting technical debt into the system. The original process is qualitative, relying on binary definitions of timelines for technology development -the technology either is or is not developed in a specific time period. The binary definitions allow for rapid high-level assessments of the potential for technical debt. However, they fail to capture more realistic scenarios of uncertain technology development timelines. This paper resolves these issues by introducing probability into LEAP process. This paper also provides examples of using the probability in the LEAP process and compares the probabilistic (quantitative) and binary (qualitative) models. These examples show improvements in the ability to assess the likelihood of delivering capabilities in time to meet stakeholder needs when using the probabilistic version of the LEAP process. Since the impact of technical debt is uncertain, the inclusion of probabilities within the LEAP process provides a higher fidelity decision support system for iterative release planning and system development.INDEX TERMS Iterative development planning, technical debt.

“…Using theories and implementing some tools and techniques commenced in 1999, it is still a concern. Current evidence of the recent articles on this study area shows that researchers are still exploring various techniques to acquire more details about the nature of rework in the construction industry (Ma et al 2019b, Hwang et al 2019. The increased number of publications in this area is attributed to the need to acquire deeper knowledge around rework.…”

Rework has been the core of attention for several years in the industry and academia as it affects the performance of projects. However, the trend of rework academic papers indicates an increasing rate in recent years; the overall research lacks a comprehensive review of the implemented theories and proposed models to explore further directions for rework management. Thus, to achieve a better understanding of rework it is necessary to perform an extensive review. This research aims to explore various insights from rework-related articles, discuss major research areas, and identify gaps for future studies looking closely at construction contracts. The selected articles are from three databases: "Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar". The findings are categorized into six study areas: sources of rework, models and solutions, management and strategies, theories and techniques, rework impacts, and factors affecting rework. The analysis of the employed techniques across these topics showed that System Dynamic Modelling, Action Research, Analytic Hierarchy Process, and Regression have been used more frequently than other methods. The comprehensive review also shed light on the new ways of thinking, analyzing, and controlling the impacts of the rework. This paper proposes the assessment of rework causes in the conditions of contract which provides opportunities for improvement of the construction contracts.
