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 …
