The recent increase in lawsuits and disputes caused by defects in apartment houses has been highlighted as a social issue. To solve this problem, studies were conducted on the type of defects in apartment houses. However, the problem has not been resolved amicably. Accordingly, it was emphasized that it was necessary to lay a groundwork for research on the types of defects by type of construction work in the recently constructed apartment houses and to present countermeasures and preventive measures for defects later. Therefore, this study investigated cases of defects in apartment houses and analyzed types of defects through PMIS and defect reports. The main purpose of the research is to present the causes for major types of defects by identifying the types of defects in apartment houses and to lay the goundwork for the study of countermeasures and preventive measures for each type of defects in the future.

Due to the improved living standards and the expectation on higher-quality housing of tenements, complaints on the defects in the buildings are increasing every year. Also, the types of flaws are changing. We surveyed one hundred buildings(9,748 households) in 12 complexes across the country to investigate the shifted types. The number of defects received increased by about 1.6 times compared to 10 years ago, while the categories did not change. The report on the malfunctioning mechanical equipment has increased 1.4 times than ten years ago, and the types of the problem changed. The proportion of general parts(water supplement, drainage, water pressure) has decreased about 25% compared to 10 years ago. This is because the items related to the indoor environment become standardized in apartment housing. Therefore the problems related to those have been increased. As the specialized items applied to the tenement building are showing gradual expansion, the defect reports concerning those will also grow.

In the area of construction defects, residents have a tendency to focus on visually identifiable defects, while construction companies focus on defects that affect the structural and functional integrity of apartment housing. Accordingly, construction companies and residents have conflicting views on defects in apartment housing. To address this issue, this study aimed to accurately identify the main disputes surrounding defects in multi-family housing complexes or multi-dwelling unit apartment housing caused by such sharply different perspectives and suggest improvement measures. First, standards to determine different defects and remuneration standards between the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the court were analyzed. Then, problems were derived through an analysis of defects in past court cases, and the differences in perspectives between construction companies and residents were identified based on defect data from various construction companies. To tackle these issues, a classification measure for establishing a defect database for multi-family homes was also proposed.

As the domestic housing supply problem has been resolved, the apartment construction market has shifted to a consumer-oriented market that wants high quality, and in particular, expectations in the area of finishing quality have increased. Looking at the status of complaints regarding apartment housing defects supplied by Korea Land and Housing Corporation, tile-related complaints are the type occurring the most frequently. While the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport(MOLIT) is making an ongoing effort to reduce complaints related to defects, through approaches such as drafting amendments to 「Investigation of defects in apartment houses, calculation of repair costs, and standards for determining defects」, the provision of preventive measures has been insufficient. In addition, by reviewing studies, there has been insufficient research to construct a classification system after deriving the characteristics of each type using the qualitative knowledge of experts, various quantitative indicators, and suggesting measures for reduction according to the causes of each type. Therefore, this study will reflect qualitative indicators to use the AHP analysis that makes it easy to identify the relationship between defects by surveying construction experts. Then, by visualizing the weight of 'Possibility of recurrence after repair,' 'Degree of difficulty in repairing defects' and 'Fault frequency' using a radial graph, we will analyze the characteristics of each type of tile construction defect and establish measures for reduction according to the cause. This will improve the quality of the living environment and contribute to the establishment of a system for smooth defect management and reduction of defects in apartment tile construction.

Various defects that occur in the maintenance stage are connected to all kinds of wasted resources and economic losses as additional investments are made. Residents are harmed temporally, materially, and psychologically, and businesses suffer not only monetary losses but also reduced credit ratings. The aim of this study was to increase the efficiency of quality management and minimize defect disputes by estimating the importance of the defect type considering the defect frequency and severity in apartment buildings. For this, 7,548 defect items for 48 apartment buildings were examined. The analysis confirmed that defects are concentrated on RC, finishing and MEP work. In addition, defects with high importance are identified as broken, incorrect installation, missing tasks, and water problems. In addition, the exterior wall/roof, the Internal wall, ceiling, and floor, which are constructed in the field, are more important than the furniture and MEP equipment installed in the field.

Recently construction companies expand position for apartment house in construction market because of house supply rate increase and its amount. In addition, because the focus of house sale market has moved to customer from supplier, the importance of defect management is being issued currently. However, current apartment defect management is not satisfied with customer's demand for the lack of business process management, management organization, information feedback, and readiness for defect in construction phase. To solve this problem, this study proposed business process management improvement model for defect management. Proposed improvement model make information feedback, defect management business quality improvement, and improper process improvement through integrating defect management and quality management. It is expected to contribute to customer's satisfaction improvement and reliance improvement for construction companies.

In general, defects cause a lot of maintenance costs and serious damage to various stakeholders, such as the owners, contractors or occupants of apartments. For this reason, a systematic and efficient defect management method is needed to minimize defect disputes. This paper derives a defect classification framework and proposes a defect risk assessment model for different types of defects. For this purpose, 6,000 defect items are allocated to the defect classification framework; these items are associated with 34 apartment projects over ten years old. As a result of this analysis, it was confirmed that the defect risks are concentrated in the areas of RC and finishing work. Based on these results, it is necessary to prevent the major risks of defects according to their priority. Based on this research, it is judged that further research to develop a method of managing the risks of defects may be necessary.
