It has been observed that a lot of mistakes/errors are made during construction of any structure/building. Construction mistakes can be identified as errors or inadequacies that can damage the building partly or wholly in one form or the other. One of the main reason of mistakes during construction is appointment of non-technical / incompetent contractor having little or no technical knowledge. These contractors during construction instead of consulting engineers, consult masons or owner of the house in case of any problem. If owner of house is an engineer or a person having some technical knowledge, he can guide or make appropriate suggestions, while a mason may suggest a solution which gives him more profit. Some engineers also give solutions which increases cost, and which indirectly increase the fee of the consulting engineer.
