Hi Ahmed,

Prof. Peter ED Love; a distinguished professor at the Curtain University in Australia devoted a significant proportion of his research commitment to rework. He has identified, analyzed and quantified the causes and impact of reworks in building, civil engineering and infrastructure projects.

Please refer to his Google Scholar profile and I believe you will have more than enough answers to the question.

Enjoy the ride

🥂

Ahmed Akal

Prof. Peter ED Love and his friends enrich the scholarly-based knowledge with sufficient number of literature in the rework area. However, the bridge projects appear to be out of their scope.
