Challenges Faced by Homeowners in House Design Planning

Abstract

The planning stage of house design plays a crucial role in ensuring a successful and efficient building project. However, it is often accompanied by various challenges that can significantly impact the outcome of the construction process. This research paper examines the personal, economical, and technical challenges faced by homeowners at the planning stage of house design in two cities, Karnal and Hisar. The study aims to provide insights into the common challenges experienced by homeowners and compare the frequency of these challenges in the two cities. The data was collected through surveys conducted among 30 respondents in each city, resulting in a total sample size of 60 respondents. The challenges were categorized into personal, economical, and technical domains, and the frequencies of agreement, neutrality, and disagreement were recorded for each challenge. The research paper discusses the findings, presents the frequency percentages, and provides weighted mean scores (WMS) to compare the challenges between the two cities.
