The construction industry is facing significant problems of high cost of project delivery, bad financial performance and inability to deliver value to customers on time. A major factor contributing to this setback is rework. Rework is defined as the “unnecessary effort of redoing an activity that was inaccurately done the first time.” In essence, rework and wastages have become recognized as non-value adding endemic symptoms that seriously affect the performance and productivity aspects of construction projects. From detailed literature review, total 53 factors that are causes of rework encountered in a construction project were identified and grouped into 7 categories. A questionnaire survey has been done to determine the most crucial factors by using Importance Index (IMPI) method with 160 respondents from south Gujarat region. After data analysis, misreading of drawings & specifications, scope of design changes, late designer input, change of plan and failure to implement quality management practices found to be most significant factors. In the final phase, from the survey crucial 14 factors were derived further they are used for generation of FRI (Field Rework Index). FRI will be now checked for its accuracy and to give warning to the construction firm that weather they are having chance of rework in their Construction work or not.
