This study is carried out for only three activities such as RCC work , Brickwork and Plastering. There is a scope to consider other defects/activities occur in High Rise building. There is also scope to use other statistical methods analysis tool such as chi-square and weighted mean method (WMM) were used to rank the significance level of these factors.
