Study of Cost Overrun in Repair & Rehabilitation Projects in India
Abstract: In broad sense, the word "rehabilitation" suggested putting a building back to how it was before. The specialized area of repair and rehabilitation engineering necessitates knowledge and skills that go beyond those needed for design and construction engineering. Repair and rehabilitation projects are significantly more challenging and more complicated than new construction projects. It is vital to take a methodical approach to structural deterioration, and technology management and economics should …

Solid Lipid Nanoparticles in Medicine: Formulation, Characterization and Future prospects
Abstract: An alternative to conventional colloidal carriers such liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, and emulsions, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) were created in the early 1990s. Benefits include targeted medicine distribution, controlled drug release, and improved stability. An extensive review of the excipients utilized, the production techniques, including the membrane contractor approach, and the possible advantages and disadvantages of SLNs is given in this work. It investigates secondary stabilization techniques like freeze-drying and spray-drying, …

Communication Pathways and Project Success: Analyzing Stakeholder Coordination Impacts on Construction Outcomes
Abstract: It is very critical to have effective communication and coordination among stakeholders for the successful delivery of the projects. Effective communication keeps stakeholders well-informed about project progress, promoting transparency, trust, and collaboration. Coordination ensures that responsibilities and resources are efficiently allocated, reducing the risk of misunderstandings and enhancing decision-making processes. Inadequate stakeholder engagement can lead to confusion, delays, rework, and the failure to meet key project milestones. The impact of …

Evaluating Delay Impacts: From Root Cause Analysis to Dispute Resolution
Abstract: Construction projects inherently involve complex coordination among multiple stakeholders, interdependent tasks, and unpredictable external challenges, which frequently cause schedule overruns and disputes. Traditional contractual mechanisms—such as extensions of time (EoT), liquidated damages, and force majeure clauses—serve to define responsibilities, allocate risk, and establish formal dispute pathways when delays arise. For example, EoT provisions protect contractors from penalties when delays are beyond their control, provided proper notice and evidence are submitted …

Evaluation of dampness effect on some buildings in Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Nigeria
Abstract: Dampness is one of the sources of defect in building. Apart from triggering deterioration of the material and textures, it can also affect in harm to the furnishings and content there by allowing the development of fungi. There are many causes of dampness in building some of which include rain penetration which occurs ingress above the ground at the various points in the external envelope of the construction. i.e through …

An Empirical Analysis of Cost, Time, and Quality Relationships Using Correlation and Regression Techniques
Abstract: Cost, time, and quality have been recognized as the three key dimensions that determine construction project performance and are commonly represented through the "Project Management Triangle." However, despite their theoretical linkage, there is limited empirical evidence to quantify the nature of their relationships, particularly within developing construction markets. This paper seeks to contribute to addressing this shortfall by investigating the specific influence of cost and schedule variations upon quality outcomes …
