ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
This time, for the assignment, I did my hardest to finish the course work report to
the best of my ability, despite some flaws in comparison to what other students have
submitted. Despite the numerous challenges I faced, I stayed committed to
completing the duties that had been assigned to me.
Furthermore, I am glad that, even in an online learning setting, I was able to

submit projects of the same high level as the students from the previous semester.
This demonstrates that, despite several hurdles, I was able to be the best student,
even better than the previous semester's pupils.
Finally, I had want to express my gratitude to Mrs. Noorazlina Binti

Kamarulzaman and Dr. Suriani Ngah Abdul Wahab for their outstanding help and
advice in BSR 205 Building Surveying Practice I. When I had concerns about a topic
that I did not understand, the lecturer was quite helpful and constantly pushed me to
do the prescribed work with enthusiasm. Alhamdulillah, I was eventually able to do
this homework, albeit not very successfully, but I tried my hardest to offer my
instructor the best possible outcome.

METHODOLOGY
There were several problems that I faced while doing this assignment in order to
achieve the highest quality possible. My college mates and I collaborate to share the
knowledge we have collected in order to make our work easier.
Although this is an individual task, we may still work together to obtain information
and conduct inspections on the building. In order to spot problems in the building
more accurately, my friends and I use a variety of equipment such as L ruler, tamping
rods, measuring tapes, and others.
In addition, I use the internet to look for information that is less well-known in
order to expand my understanding of assessing construction defects. When
completing the project, the data obtained is recorded to create a report, so that the
facts provided are correct and of higher quality.
Last but not least, numerous students were there during the building inspection. I
have to wait for all the students there decrease before working to detect the problems,
so that it is more easier to work. Nonetheless, I will not give up on completing this
assignment since I want to get the highest outcomes and quality.

1.3.3 BUILDING ORIENTATION
Figure 1.3.8 Building orientation
The orientation of the building is facing the west side. The sun rises in front of the
building and sunset at the back of the building. This building get a direct sunlight
because of the sun position straightly rise in front of the building. It is very good for the
guests who are in the building and get a better sunlight. For the afternoon, it was
positioned on top of the building, which is not ideal since afternoon sunshine produces
additional heat, and as a result, the people of this building may be feeling hot as a
result of the direct sunlight. However, there are several fans in this mosque, including
one extremely enormous primary fan. As a result, relative to the weather outside, it
will not feel extremely hot inside. Also that there are many doors open while the
building is used. For the evening sun was positioned at the back of the building, so the
people in it may feel less heated than in the afternoon sun. The conclusion is this
building have a very good ventilation and the people in the mosque will always feel
cool and comfortable.

CHAPTER 3.0: SCOPE OF WORK
3.1 BUILDING INSPECTION
A building inspection is carried out by a building inspector, who is normally employed

by a city, township, or nation and is usually qualified in one or more fields, allowing
them to make a professional judgement about whether a structure complies with
building codes required. A building inspector can be certified as either a residential or
commercial building inspector, such as a plumbing, electrical, or mechanical
inspection, or any other specialty-focused inspector. A structural inspector inspects
constructions at various stages of completion.
19
3.1.1 INSPECTION PROCEDURE
In building inspections it requires a number of procedures:
1. Mutual consent with the client.
 Negotiate the Building Condition Survey and Assessment (BCSA) with the client
and refer to the Code of Practice for Building Surveying (CPBS101) as a
reference for the building.
2. The provision of goods and tools.
 To begin the examination, the building inspector simply needs four tools which is
a measuring tape, a spirit level, a tapping rod, and an L-level.
3. Procedures that are essential for them to perform for a building inspector.
 Inspection of whole property.
 A detail inspection of main roof
 A room by room inspection at each floor
 An examination of the roof structures and coverings
 An examination of each elevation including the structure finish
 Inspection of site boundaries and out of the buildings such as testing the drains.
4. Report and submission to client.
 A detailed report and data from the examination of the entire building will be given
to us client.
For the construction inspector, the examination must include the ceiling, floor, and
walls of the entire house. For example, in one of the rooms, the paint has been peeled
from one of the portions of the wall, and there is a hollow on one side of the ceiling in
the home section. The building must be examined for completeness of the
construction component of the home as well as the outside of the house, such as the
drainage system and colour on the exterior of the house.

4.2 ELECTRICAL/ MECHANICAL SYSTEM
NO. BUILDING ELEMENTS DESCRIPTION
ELECTRICAL/ MECHANICAL SYSTEM
1) A distribution box is an electrical

supply system component that
separates an electrical power
source into subsidiary circuits
while providing a protective fuse or
circuit breaker for each circuit in a
single enclosure. In most cases, a
primary switch is used, and on
newer boards, one or more
residual-current devices (RCDs) or
residual current breakers with over
current protection (RCBOs) are
also used.
Figure 4.2.1 Distribution box
2) The speaker turns the

microphone's electric signal into
the matching sound wave.
Speakers are electromagnetic
wave transducers that transform
electromagnetic waves into sound
waves. A device, such as a
computer or an audio receiver,
provides audio input to the
speakers. This input might be
analogue or digital in nature.
Figure 4.2.2 Speaker
29
3) An air conditioner cools the air
inside your house or enclosed
area by eliminating heat and
humidity from the air. It returns
chilled air to the internal
environment while transferring
undesired heat and humidity
outdoors.
Figure 4.2.3 Air conditioner
4) An emergency light is a
battery-powered illumination
appliance that turns on
automatically when a building
loses electricity. In new
commercial and high-occupancy
residential buildings, such as
college dorms, flats, and hotels,
Figure 4.2.4 Emergency lamp emergency lights are standard.

Most construction rules provide for
them to be put in older structures
as well.
5) It is intended to ensure that, in the

case of a regular power outage,
illumination is given swiftly,
automatically, and for a suitable
period of time. This ensures that
building inhabitants may safely
leave in the case of an
emergency, such as a fire.
Figure 4.2.5 Emergency exit light
30
6) A projector, also known as an
image projector, is a piece of
optical equipment that projects an
image (or moving pictures) onto a
surface, most frequently a
projection screen. Most projectors
generate images by shining a light
through a tiny transparent lens,
however some newer types of
Figure 4.2.6 Projector projectors may generate images
directly by employing lasers.
7) The television is use to show the

current information to the guests
such as about upcoming events or
prayer time.
Figure 4.2.7 Television
8) Ceiling light with a circular LED

downlight. Plastic is the most
commonly used material for
housing. The mounting diameter
of this square LED panel is 105
mm. The spotlights have two
clamping springs at the back of the
Figure 4.2.8 LED ceiling lights panel.
31
9) A switch is an electrical
component that may disconnect or
connect the conducting channel in
an electrical circuit, therefore
halting or directing the electric
current from one conductor to
another, finishes white colour.
Figure 4.2.9 Plug switch
10) Fluorescent light emits short-wave

ultraviolet light, which illuminates a
phosphorus coating on the interior
of the bulb.
Figure 4.2.10 Fluorescent light box
11) This main fan can give such strong

ventilation in the area because it
has six sides of fan blades that are
broader and longer than other
regular fans.

5.5 ANALYSIS OF BUIILDING DEFECTS
Figure 5.5.1 Pie chart of building defects
Based on the results show in the pie chart above, the highest percentage of building
defects in the building that I have choose is cracks which is 20%. This is because this
building is about 12 years old and no wonder it has a lot of cracks in the building
elements. Then, the second highest percentage for building defects are peeling and
corrosion. The probably causes of this defects are due to unpredictable weather
conditions and probably to be exposed to outside rainfall splashes. However, the
peeling defects can be solves by following this method, using a scraper or 100-grit
sandpaper, remove any loose, cracked, or peeling paint from the damaged area.
Then, using a putty knife, apply a thin layer of patching material to the damaged area.
After that, smooth the patched area and make it flush with the surface with 220-grit
sandpaper. Lastly, remove any remaining dust or debris from the finished repair.
Besides that, the other minor defects in this building consist of patchiness, water stain,
discoloration paint, leaking, inconsistent joints, stains mark, plaster chips and
dampness. Overall BARIS Matrix Analysis for this building is still in a good condition
and this building are safe to use.

CHAPTER 6.0: RECOMMENDATION AND CONCLUSION
To summarise, the main aim of the construction is to shelter the occupants and
their possessions from the elements, specifically rain, severe winds, and cold. It is
vital to guarantee that all of these responsibilities can be fulfilled in the first place.
Optional amenities include windows, plumbing, air conditioning, and finishing. Of
course, the building must be physically sound in order to exist, and the floor must be
stable and capable of withstanding all standard weights. The lack of whatever
essential for excellence is considered a handicap. It is also known as a fault or flaws.
Disability is another term for deficiency.
Therefore, based on the Pusat Islam, the structure I that I have picked, is
examined in further depth, it becomes clear that it has several architectural flaws.
Roughly speaking, we may observe a whole building being created with no harmful
impacts on the building, but after a close investigation of the building, it turns out that
there are numerous problems in the concealed areas that will affect the building's
structure if left unrepaired for an extended period of time. This emphasises the need
of regularly inspecting the status of the structure in which we live, because certain
issues cannot be recognised at a glance and require a thorough examination.
Furthermore, learning about building faults is critical for us, especially if we

already own a home. We must first evaluate all building structures to guarantee that
they are free of flaws that might jeopardise our house. Furthermore, improper
installations and structural defects may make living or working in the building
dangerous. This can cause electrical damage, a fire, or serious structural problems.
Disability management is crucial in spotting these threats and maintaining the safety
of clients who reside in their homes.
Based on my findings, it has been shown that low quality building materials are
the most prevalent cause of construction faults and failures. The materials utilised
may be short-lived and should only be used for a limited period of time. As a result,
inhabitants of a property are continuously confronted with cracks, leaks, and other
concerns.
Last but not least, it is vital that all construction partners use high-quality and
acceptable materials throughout the project. This enables the development of a
high-quality product that will satisfy people. As a consequence, using superior raw
materials impacts the integrity of a structure and can lengthen its life.
