Identification and Elimination of Factors Causing Design Error in Building Design Process

Abstract

Building construction is one of the most complex sector, in construction industry. Among many other, this sector has a major challenge of DM for a long. Although BIM has helped to solve some of the problems, but there are some challenges that needed to be addressed for effective DM. Though DP has improved but number of unprofessional stakeholder and evolution in material science is making it a complex system. A research was conducted to identify and value, role of DE in building construction. Research has revealed that projects are suffering due to DE in term of budget creep, and it is valued 7.92%. A major factor for DE, is ‘lack of coordination’ and followed by ‘unrealistic design schedule’. In advancement in building construction for developing countries there is need of a standard protocol for building design and approval process. A framework is therefore proposed to improve coordination process and figure out a DP which shall help industry stakeholder to properly understand DP and develop a realistic design schedule to minimize challenges to project design.
