“…For instance, Josepson and Hammerlund (1996) used cost variance for the measurement of design that caused defects for new-build projects. Daoud (1997) maintained that cost was an indicator of the performance of refurbishment projects. The majority of refurbishment projects suffer from delays and escalating cost.…”

“…The majority of refurbishment projects suffer from delays and escalating cost. This is due to a high degree of uncertainty in defining the scope of work, especially when handling a building that is badly damaged due to war or fire (Daoud, 1997).…”

“…The main factors contributing to this problem are design related, such as late discovery of design information, especially during the design development stage (Daoud, 1997). However, research on the performance of refurbishment projects is still lacking.…”

The refurbishment sector has the potential to keep growing and contribute to the growth of total Malaysian construction output. The increased number of obsolete and deteriorating buildings, coupled with the limited land for new development will contribute to increased demand for refurbishment works in Malaysia. However, the performance of refurbishment projects in most developed countries is unsatisfactory. One of the sources of unsatisfactory performance is related to design problems. This study analyses the variables that could be used for measuring design performance and reviews design performance of refurbishment projects in Malaysia. The study concludes that the design performance of refurbishment projects in Malaysia is used in three-quarters of refurbishment projects. The percentage of completeness of design before work starts on site was more than 80 percent. The additional construction cost attributed to design changes during the construction stage was more than 20 percent of the original estimated cost.

“…These studies show that in the majority of refurbishment projects, a high proportion of the design information could only be obtained during the construction stage. Incomplete design could contribute to poor project performance such as the incidence of more design changes occurring during the construction stage ( Andi and Minato, 2003 ), higher design cost and time variances because of design rework ( Daoud, 1997 ).…”
