The Canadian Wheat Board, Socio-economic Vulnerability and the Neo-liberal State
The Canadian Prairies is one of the world's largest breadbaskets. But its location in the centre of the country, far from world markets, increases farmers' vulnerability to the middle-men who ship, handle and market their grain. To protect them, the federal government set up the Canadian Wheat…

When ‘less is more’: The rationale for an adaptive toolbox to manage the risk and uncertainty of rework
Determining the risk and uncertainty of rework in construction has received limited attention due to a paucity of information about its frequency and causes. Errors made during construction, which may require rework, can go undetected, manifesting as an engineering failure during an asset’s…

Moving Beyond a Zero Tolerance Mindset: Embracing Action Errors in Construction
Action errors—unintentional deviations from goals, rules, or standards—are an inevitable part of work in construction. Understanding how individuals and organizations can embrace and “learn through errors” (i.e., how to handle them effectively) is crucial for contributing to project success…

Psychological artificial intelligence: Designing algorithms to deal with the uncertainty of rework in construction
As construction organizations are confronted with uncertainty and imperfect information, they find accommodating the likelihood of rework in their projects challenging. Bayesian statistical models cannot be utilized to predict rework as objective, and even subjective probabilities are unknown. In…

Error aversion or management? Exploring the impact of culture at the sharp-end of production in a mega-project
The research we present in this paper addresses the following question: What type of error culture does the rank-and-file workforce experience during construction, and does it help mitigate rework? We undertake an exploratory case study of an Alliance, which forms part of a transport mega-project…

Error culture and its impact on rework: An exploration of norms and practices in a transport mega-project
Rework has been and continues to be a problem during the construction of transport mega-projects. This article examines the error culture of an alliance that forms part of a transport mega-project to determine its effectiveness in mitigating rework. Our article reveals that an error management…

Building absorptive capacity in a mega-project program alliance: Learning to mitigate rework
Collaborative procurement forms such as program alliancing can create a burgeoning environment for absorptive capacity to materialize, enabling learning and rework to be mitigated. However, little is known about the learning routines and practices enabling program alliances to tackle their rework…

Promissory Estoppel, Proprietary Estoppel and Constructive Trust in Canada: "What's in a name?"
This paper explores the similarities and differences between promissory estoppel, proprietary estoppel and the remedial constructive trust. Although the three are quite different at one level, as the first is a defence to an action, the second a cause of action as well as a defence, and the third…

Quality II: A new paradigm for construction
The Quality I paradigm utilizes an error prevention strategy to avert rework in construction. The effectiveness of this paradigm is questionable as rework has become an innate feature of practice. If rework is to be mitigated in construction projects, a new paradigm is needed to challenge…

State of Science: Why Does Rework Occur in Construction? What Are Its Consequences? And What Can be Done to Mitigate Its Occurrence?
There has been a wealth of research that has examined the nature of rework in construction. Progress toward addressing the rework problem has been limited—it still plagues practice, adversely impacting a project’s performance. Almost all rework studies have focused on determining its proximal or…
