Abstract

The repercussions from design failures have been the subject of much study. With every passing moment the implications of design deficiency presents a new set of actions and reactions. In this contemporary technologicalscientific era, this field of study acts as a Testing Lab of designers ideas. Any part of the globe can serve as a testing field for such studies if there is building design. These studies can help both the designer to improve their skills and industry to develop new materials. Despite current technological advancement, the prevention of unplanned building maintenance is still not being achieved. This research paper highlights examples of design that were not finished within the required parameters and thus resulted in faults. The study also highlights the effect of faulty design on building maintenance.
