虽然返工是中国建筑业的一种普遍现象，并对项目成功有很大影响，但返工的原因在很大程度上仍不清楚，而且大多数建筑公司无法有效地管理这一问题。为了调查建筑工程返工的原因，通过全面的文献回顾和对中国13名经验丰富的建筑专业人员的半结构化访谈，首先确定了39种返工原因。进一步进行问卷调查，对这些原因进行了排序，其中项目过程管理不清、施工技术质量差、建筑材料使用质量差的原因最多。最后，因子分析揭示了这些原因的11个主要潜在维度，涉及设计管理、沟通管理、现场管理、项目范围管理、项目过程管理、积极返工、项目计划变更、分包商管理、合同管理、业主能力和外部环境。这项工作的贡献在于它研究了世界上最大的发展中国家的建筑专业人员认为返工的根本原因，这个国家的特点是其独特的经济和社会制度。特别是，新确定的合同管理、主动返工和范围管理的原因有助于扩大全球建筑界对返工根本原因的现有知识。
Although rework is a common phenomenon in the Chinese construction industry and significantly affects project success, the reasons for rework remain largely unknown and most construction companies are unable to manage the issue effectively. To investigate the causes of rework in construction projects, a total of 39 causes were first identified through a comprehensive literature review and semi-structured interviews with 13 experienced construction professionals in China. A questionnaire survey was further conducted to prioritize these causes, in which unclear project process management, poor quality of construction technology, and the use of poor construction materials rank the highest. Finally, a factor analysis revealed 11 major underlying dimensions of these causes, relating to design management, communication management, field management, project scope management, project process management, active rework, project plan changes, subcontractor management, contract management, owner capability, and the external environment. The contribution of this work lies in its examination of the underlying causes of rework perceived by construction professionals in the world’s largest developing country, which is characterized by its unique economic and social systems. In particular, newly identified causes of contract management, active rework, and scope management help expand existing knowledge of the underlying causes of rework for the global construction community.
