Understanding the Causes of Design Errors in Construction Projects: A DEMATEL-Based Framework

The design phase plays a crucial role in project development by providing a structured plan that transforms a vision into a tangible entity. Consequently, any errors detected during the design phase can have a profound impact on the overall project performance. Numerous researchers have identified d...

Industrial Management TH Building construction The design phase plays a crucial role in project development by providing a structured plan that transforms a vision into a tangible entity.

Numerous researchers have identified design errors as one of the most critical factors contributing to disputes and project failure.

Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate the interrelationships among the causes of design errors. Nine causes of design errors were extracted and synthesized from the literature.
