摘要：

Failures and defects are common phenomena in construction industry. Negative impacts may arise towards cost, duration and resources of project. Failures and defects can cause unnecessary expenditure and delays. They are also generating controversies among parties involved. Furthermore, if this situation is left unanswered and untreated, it will lead to more serious problems in the future upcoming construction projects in Malaysia. Therefore this study is aimed to identify contribution factors to building defect and failures, which frequently occur in construction project especially in Penang area in order to minimize time and cost involved. The data is collected from questionnaire from various players in construction industry. This study is succeeds in identifying the common contribution factors of structural defects and failures in construction project. Hopefully this study could improve the effectiveness of managing appraisal process of failures and defects in the future. (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
