        abstract = {This Investigation gets into the causes, effects and prevention of building cracks with Estimation. Cracks are kind of defects which occur into building structure that rendered building unsightly and decrease building stabilities. May be cracks has structural failure or non-structural failure that may act, moderate or several. The size and characteristics of cracks ranges from 0 – 25 mm were considered for investigation. Physical inspections of building were made in some selected areas with the support of photographs. Based on literature and site investigation poor workmanship, poor supervision, poor material, faulty design and overloading, environmental problems, faulty construction, foundation settlement, lack of soil test, inappropriate mix were identified as the reason for cracks in building. Cracks may be significantly vary in width from thin hair crack rarely visible to naked eye to gaping crack depending upon the crack width. The categorized cracks were dealt technically in the aspect of severity of damage and repair possibility. The Ultrasonic pulse velocity & Rebound hammer test were done for test results of the building. The results were interpreted with the existing literature and possible causes were identified. Based on the rigorousness of the problem the possible repair solution was offered for the cracks with detailed Cost Estimation.},
