Abstract
In Iran, a lot of money spent annually on construction projects, in the form of construction and non-construction projects. One of the serious shortcomings of the management construction in the country, is absence of a specified system for recording the actual costs of various activities. Project cost management is an activity which deals forecasting, planning, control, cost finding, analysis and assessment. When you realize cost management performance tangibly, as a result of mismanagement, lack of financial resources appears in all the components of project. In this situation, managers can be effective support to keep track of rework events and play an important role on the performance and efficiency of projects. Rework has opposite effect on the cost and timing of projects and satisfaction of people. Numerous studies have been carried out to quantify the cost of rework projects. Among the causes of reworking we can mention the factors related to customers, factors related to the design and factors related to subcontractors. This paper examines the construction cost management and the role of rework. Basic topics in management costs are presented and rework factors discussed in detail and finally refer to the appropriate methods for identifying and managing rework to reduce the total cost of construction projects.

From the standard perspective PMBOK, cost management consists of four arguments that are hierarchically associated with each other that include resource planning, cost estimating, cost budgeting and cost control (Project Management Institute, 2004)
Summary
According to the Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran, investment and construction activities of the private sector in urban areas in different provinces of Iran in the first half of year 2004, was 416,552,586 Rials. Rework during manufacturing is the most important factor for waste of resources in order to track the impact of problems on cost and time of project, it is essential that accurate information from the project be available. Based on it we can do precise control about the time and cost of the project. If the allocated budget is used to measure the performance of cost, the allocated funds to an activity cannot be changed arbitrarily, when it is determined that the budget is not enough for the project. Identify and control of rework causes the reduction of construction cost and decrease the lesions associated with the partners and owners of houses and increases people satisfaction
