Abstract

In India, a high-performance building rehabilitation package must be implemented more quickly in order to achieve the country's sustainable development objective. In order to attain this degree of performance, the construction method for building rehabilitation should move towards industrialized solutions that take into account all construction stakeholders' demands and are unencumbered by current industrial problems. The aim of this study is to investigate and evaluate the fundamental elements and the corresponding challenges that impact building rehabilitation initiatives in India. The purpose of this research is to furnish important insights to the project's stakeholders, empowering them to anticipate and prepare for possible obstacles. While conducting a secondary survey 25 underlying challenges were identified for the execution of building rehabilitation projects in India. The research method involved the study of 38 buildings in the National Capital Region (NCR) to verify and validate these challenges through detailed stakeholder discussion and interviews. The study was analyzed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (Structure Equation Modelling) using Smart PLS at 0.90 Cronbach's alpha reliability value of the data collected using a questionnaire survey. Further, four significant factors were confirmed at KMO= 0.90. The challenges are grouped under four factors, Project Definition; Project Procurement; Project Risk Management, and Project Closure and Handover. The result shows that factors analyzed and presented significantly exist at the rehabilitation sites.
