| description | This is a study about damage resulting in rework in residential construction in Sweden. They are assorted under 13 headings that mention physical facts without taking a position on cause of the problem. This second part of the report presents information considering water freezing in the building envelope, water in the facades, stained facades, construction parts that not fulfil the system performance anticipated and also real disasters. Preparation before casting concrete takes care because any need for demolishment consumes considerable resources. In general, to avoid damage it is good to; have up to date knowledge about problems that emerge; have a leadership that favours commitment to a well-built product; and to follow up the details that are critical, like those that could result in leakage of water. We also think it is good to be open about things that go wrong. In case skill is missing, education would contribute to a better outcome and less need for rework. In case violation to any instruction or principle is the reason, it should be very clear who is responsible, and important to place responsibility with the person who can influence the outcome. |
