1.3 STATEMENT OF PROBLEMS
It is observed that plan review and
performance standard are very important to everyone involved but most
contractors and engineers have abandoned this practices.
The problems which has lead to failure are intended to be studied in this research are listed below.
i.
The omission of some specification of critical element of building
envelop by contractors in order to make out some profit from the
contract. And also common building practices are generally into
prevented building failure.
ii. Most contractors are not aware of specific details and methods required for difficult or severe indoor environment.
1.4 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
The aim and objectives of the study are:
i. To find the causes of building failure in construction work.
ii. To know the extent which this has affected the people involved.
iii. To provide the means of controlling failures and its effects in construction work.
iv. To know the different types of failure.
1.5 SIGNIFICATION OF THE STUDY
Since
structure is very important for living things, therefore; control of
its failure will enhance the performance productivity and profitability
in any organisation.
The research work will be of immense to the government, engineers and contractors and even the public.
