Enforcement iesued free but-distribution shell be limited to the, head: of -zencies/denarments The Manuat * who shali be responsible for Mesonry finishes are of difterént types. They are otten ished floor ‘ual tiles, or masonry wall etd flog finishes™ This ificludes‘the vitrified tiles, vinyl tiles, cement tiles, plain cement, plaster cement, synthetic adobe finishes, etc. The most common defecis here are the existence of hairline cracks due to impest load. Finichos eve dismantiod when heirling cracks are repeired. Root Framing System: The roof framing system is composed of the trusses, rafters, purlins, facia boards, braces and roof girts. As the life of the structures increases, the existence >f ter mites and other pests should be nisservec! Termites are more visible in the internal part of the wood rather than at the exterior appear- ance, Hence, complete replacement with specified materials before applying termite treatment is recommended. Ii the wood is affected externally by termites, this can be partially repaired and be treated by chemicals. Floor Framing System: The common members to be observed here are the floor girts/corbels, floor joists, bridging braces and the T & B flooring. umd. the floor framing ‘ory effects, and sometime sagging. Checking of the actual spacings and sizes of tne materia! installed is very important because these ere some of the errors which could not be easily observed and could produce defects. Minor reoair works neluce putting addizional members to prevent sagging and vibrations. 1g Works: The selling system is composed of the ceiling boards, joists and nailers, 't acts as a non-conductor to the excessive heat transferred from the roof. such at ine sagging and disalignment of the structure occur’aue to the exist- ence of termites, poor installation and poor quality of materials. The ceiling frame is repair able by replacing its damaged parts. Other types of ceiling such as acoustic boards with aluminum T-Runners are seldom damaged due to the kind of material specified. Partition/Panelling Walls: Partition and panelling wells are subject to deterioration and termites infestation. The causes of damage and deterioration must be observed and examined carefully. Alignment, elevation and exterior appearance must be teken into account The actual alignment of doors and windows must be parallel with the existing walls. Tilting ot walls means that there is a slight change of alignment.and elevation of the walls. itabie. Walls need to be replaced with specified mat: jals efter The presence of termites is in ‘vesting them with chemicals. Broken fixed gless windows or partition walls shouid also be replaced. Doors and Windows: There are various types of doors. However, the most common to school puildings, health facilities, and national government buildings ere the penel doors, flush doors, ber type @r siving docrs snd =luminum doors ” Penei and aluminum doers sre seldom amazed. The flush and bar type are the ones always sHected due to the poor installation and fabrication. The boards should be well installed to its nailers and the nailers should be in good condition to hold the boards enc hinges. The doors are of different types. They are the steel casement type, awning type, wooden or iass jalousies, fixed aless or wooden transom windows and old capiz windows. Generally, the most affected windows are the wooden or glass jelousies windows with fixed aransoms and the “capiz”” windows. The wooden or glass blades must be examined carefully Whenever they are worn-out or broken. Then “capiz” type which are fast deteriorating due to the existence of termites and its old age should be replaced. Cabinetries: Cabinets are often used in national government buildings, such 2s the open shelves, closets, drawers built-in cabinets, etc. Damages to some parts including its boards, nailers and locksets are replaceable with the same quality of materials originally used. TI may need complete repainting or varnish 9g Plumbing System: The defects of the system results into two parts, namely: the roughing-ins and the fivtuios.
