The study contributes to knowledge in engineering management by providing new insights into drawbacks of existing TM guidelines. The data was analysed using thematic analysis. Evidence was collated from semi-structured interviews and document analysis, and validated in a group interview. The research uses an exploratory case study approach exploring TM in a civil engineering consultancy. The aim of this research is to present a conceptual framework to proactively reduce the reoccurrence of tolerance problems at stages preceding on site construction. Despite the potentially severe consequences of those defects, tolerance management (TM) is a perennial challenge, and the construction industry lacks a systematic and practical process to provide insight into avoiding the reoccurrence of tolerance problems. Covering new materials and techniques developed since the book was first published, the Second Edition of this easy-to-use reference features: * More than 100 drawings illustrating the tolerance concepts * New sections on measuring compliance with tolerance standards right-of-way construction autoclaved aerated concrete tilt-up concrete panels interior stone wall cladding structural insulated panels decorative architectural glass laminated architectural flat glass and bent glass * New guidelines on how to incorporate tolerance requirements in drawings and specifications * New information on how to apply tolerance information during contract administration With the Handbook, architects, engineers, contractors, interior designers, lawyers, and others involved in the construction industry will be armed with the information they need to design and detail more accurately, write better specifications, establish normal practice and standards of care, supervise construction, settle worksite disputes, and save time and money at every stage of building.Defects associated with dimensional and geometric tolerance variability (tolerance problems) are often dealt with during the construction phase of projects. The comprehensive guide to construction tolerances, newly revised and updated How much may a steel frame be out of plumb? What are the expected variations of a precast concrete panel? What is required to successfully detail finish materials on masonry? Updating and expanding on its popular first edition, the Handbook of Construction Tolerances, Second Edition remains the only comprehensive reference to the thousands of industry standard tolerances for the manufacture, fabrication, and installation of construction materials and components- including all-important accumulated dimensional variations.
