Terminology
For the this report we will mainly be making use of the following terminology to describe the
adverse conditions of the subject property:
Operational- an item/ items that does not function as intended.
Debris- an item that is destroyed or has rubbish.
Deteriorate- the item has been damaged or is not fit for its designed purpose.
Sagging- the item has moved out of shape or distorted.
Install- the installation of an item is absent or has failed.
Serviceable Defect- the performance of item is flawed at the time of the inspection.
It is also important to understand the difference between maintenance and failure for the
purpose of this report, which is briefly explained below:
Maintenance- is the work done to restore a facility or part thereof in good condition or in an
acceptable standard.
Reasons for maintenance:
(a) Increasing the life span of the building facilities
(b) Reduce breakage and failure of equipment.
(c) Keep the facility in a continuous productive/functional estate and enhances property
value.
Failure- is a situation where premature maintenance may be required due to rapid
deterioration. It can be caused by natural phenomena (like storms, earthquakes, floods etc);
abuse and negligence to maintain pest infestation, poor designs and or workmanship or faulty
materials can also cause failure of a building.
Failure can occur in two forms.
• Physical (structural, loss of strength etc)
• Performance (reduction in function below)

Introduction
We were instructed to do a physical inspection and measurement on a residential property and

give an accurate assessment of the conditions of the property together with its building
components. Specifically, for this assignment we will use a residential property situated in
Carletonville, 46 Matroosberg Street Extension 9. This report will address the general
conditions of the property not to criticize the property, but to inform the owner about the
property’s present conditions. This is necessary to create awareness of any defects or faults in
the property itself.
The purpose of this report is to make observations and recommendations on the subject
property at the time of the inspection on both the interior and exterior of the property and to
comment on the functionality of its services, components, and its finishes as well as to indicate
the areas of concern. The subject property is a one storey structure with Carport, the property
is occupied by the owner and his family.
The inspection done on this assignment was limited to a visual inspection of the areas in the
property that were exposed for viewing. We will inspect the following areas: The building’s
exterior, interior and the site. The inspection was conducted on the 9th of April 2021 at 11:34am,
the weather on the day of inspection was partly cloudy.
It is essential to note that the property condition assessment is a combination of the opinions
and observations formulated by the group members and not of professional experts. On that
note while working on the assignment we as group members did encounter certain problems
when inspecting the subject property like internal restrictions whereby the furniture hindered
access to certain areas of the property at the time of the inspection and we also experienced
minor challenges when it came to traveling to the subject property due to transportation costs
and due to the strict regulations of social distancing but in the end, we managed to reach group
consensus about the group dynamics.

Property description (Erf)
The subject property is a one storey house with a carport, it is a corner house which has access
to both sides of the roads on Bloukrans and Matroosberg Street. Its is a masonry brick house
with a concrete paving driveway with brick fencing.
Soil type and Foundation type
The soil conditions and stability are important to determine whether the site is suitable for a
building structure, for the subject property we discovered that the type of soil present in the
parameters of the property is gravel soil. Gravel soil is very good at supporting a foundation
because when compacted and moist it holds together very well, and gravel soil is good because
of their non-water retaining properties. The type of foundation used for the subject property
was a strip foundation, this type of foundation can withstand the structural load of the house
and it has a very long service life. (refer to the annexure)
Topography
Topography refers to the slope and level of the land whether the land is flat and plain or in
sloping (Parmar,2021). For the subject property, the topography of the site is flat, and it allows
for the settling of the property very well. The fact that the topography of the subject property
is flat it will not affect the layout of the property and it will not affect the access of sun and
views.
The topography and the soil are very important elements as far as safety of the property is
concerned.

to the entrance of a building or extended as a
colonnade with a roof structure over a walkway
and supported by a pillar.
Condition The patio is in an excellent condition and it is well

screws. It is advisable that the owner wipes the
door with damp cloth to remove dust and dirt and
without leaving any scratches on the door.
External kitchen door
Type Panel Door (The door is single hinged.)

Condition The door is generally in a bad condition. The panel
door used is not suitable to be utilised as an
external door, because the door is reacting to
seasonal weather and it is not protected against
effects caused by exposure to the weather like the
rain and the suns UV rays, so it ends up
deteriorating and eventually losing its original
colour and creates a chalky appearance. The door
handle and hinges are well kept.
Recommendation We recommend the owner to either replace the
current door with a more suitable external door
that will be able to handle the weather exposure or
take the door off the hinges, remove all the
hardware, lay it across two sawhorses, and sand it
down to the wood. This clears away any old paint,
finish, or varnish, and allows you to see if the door
has any cracks or other repair needs. When you
have the door down to the bare wood, wipe away
all wood dust, and refinish or repaint it in a dust-
free environment to avoid any debris settling into a
new coat as it dries.
Functionality The door is fully functional the were no signs of
the door losing its grip from the frame at the time
of inspection and the door opens and closes with
ease.
Maintenance Cleaning hinges and doorknob assembly only need
to be done every six to 12 months.
Routinely inspect the door for any damages, either
to the door itself, the weather stripping, or other
components like hardware. This way, you can

repair issues sooner rather than later, ensuring
your door remains in good condition. Using things
such as varnish will help bring back the colour of
this door and it will also help as a protective layer
for dust and cracking caused by the weather (rain).

The glass window on the sliding door is very
clean and visible for one to see into what is
inside the room and where the door is
leading to. No cracks are identified on the
sliding door. The aluminium sliding door

obvious that the paint job that was being
done in that area of the house was not so neat
and no careful coverings were made on the
aluminium sliding door frame. The cement
used on the edges to hold the sliding door in
place seems to need a refill.
Functionality The sliding doors functions as intended; they
slide properly without any difficulties at the
time of the inspection.
Recommendation The paint on the sliding door frames should
be removed with the correct chemicals that
remove stubborn paint stains. This is
necessary for neatness purposes and to also
restore the original colour of the aluminium
sliding doors.
Maintenance Routine maintenance is needed when it comes
to aluminium sliding doors because
sometimes the doors do not slide properly due
to certain obstructions like dust or small
pieces of dirt that could have easily landed on
the tracks due to the activity that happens in
the house and obviously this part of the house

will experience the most activity since the
sliding door leads to the entertainment/living
room.
The glass window on the sliding door should

be cleaned with a damp and dry cloth to
remove dirt (such as fingerprints) and dust.

Carport
Type Aluminium Roll up garage door.

Condition The garage door appears in functional and
satisfactory condition at the time of the
inspection. The paint on the garage door still has
its original shade and it is well kept. The rollers

are still attached to the cable system.
Material Galvanised slat material.
Recommendation We recommend the owner to occasionally
inspect the springs and rollers and look for wear
or broken parts.
Functionality The garage door is fully operational, the is no
visible signs of misalignment, damage, faulty
springs or clogging when opening the garage
door.
Maintenance Twice a year seasonal inspection and
maintenance should be done by lubricating all
moving parts to ensure that the residential garage
door is opening and closing properly.
Concrete pave driveway
Type Bevelled edged concrete blocks which are
rectangular in shape, with a top side edge
slightly bevelled
Condition The paving appears to be levelled and well
excavated which proves that the proper process
was followed in laying the paving when it was
installed, and it shows that the ground was
treated well before installation of the bevelled
edge paving block .The paving blocks however
have weeds that are growing, and they could
have been caused by seeds deposited through the
block spacings even if perhaps the constructors
used herbicide side before placing the sand bed,
it proves to have been ineffective.
Maintenance Apply granular weed preventative between joints
as part of the paver maintenance routine or use
mortar to join the gaps.
Recommendation The weeds should be removed on a continuous
basis as they usually grow back after a certain
time, a pesticide or herbicide should be sprayed
at least once every two months or so just to
ensure the growth of weeds from the paving are
kept to a minimum, as well as to keep the insects
or termites from ruining the paving. The paving
blocks should also be repainted at least once
each year if not once in two years depending on
their condition after such a period
Downpipe
Type Galvanized steel

Condition The gutter is in a bad condition and it may pose
as a health hazard because as you can see in the
picture there is rusting on the downpipe used in
the carport. Usually rusting causes corrosion and
some of the defects that comes with corrosion
are complete loss of material and the steadiness
of the structure may be compromised.
Recommendation The downpipes should be painted with a good
quality paint both inside and outside to prevent
corrosion and leaks on the joints which would
also help increase the durability of the gutter.
Functionality The rust on the downpipe does not prevent its
functionality
Maintenance The inside of the gutter can be painted at least
once every three years and the outside should be
maintained at least once a year if not once in two
years should the paint start to wear off and in
that case arrangements for getting the gutters
repainted should be made or install new ones.
Environmental attributes
Environmental attributes play a significant role when it comes to the area and value of the
property. An individual seeking to purchase a property will first look at the surrounding
environment of the location that will offer a high quality of life. Looking at the subject
property’s environmental attributes we have identified many factors that could deliver a high
quality of life for the occupants residing in 46 Matroosberg street.
Those attributes are as follows: Firstly, there is no nearby highway or active construction sites
that may contribute to any noise pollution. Secondly, there are no trees or shrubs planted
towards the west and east of the site that could prevent afternoon heat and oxygen. The climate
in the area is pleasant throughout the year even in winter. Thirdly, in ext. 16 the population
density in the area is average, meaning that the area is not overcrowded making it very pleasant
to live in. Lastly, from our observation we noticed that the water and air quality in the area is
generally good and may contribute to habitable living conditions for the occupants. The area
also is sustainable meaning it does not disturb or affect the ecosystem in the area.
We have also identified nearby amenities that could contribute to high quality life of the
occupants like a nearby school called Wonderfontein High school which is very convenient as
since the owner has a child that schools there and a nearby recreational swimming pool. This
amenities or environmental factors contribute to the value of the property.
The view of scenery from the property is a general view, the is no view of water or the lake.
when standing inside the premises of the property however you can observe the views of the
street and buildings.
Improvements
Before After
Before:
Initially the subject property was a five-bedroom house with two bedrooms, one bathroom, a kitchen,
and a dining room. Renovations have been done on the subject property to improve the property. The
site had a large open space prior improvement and the owner decided to utilise the space to add on the
initial property. As you can see from the above picture all the windows were casement windows, the
bricks used in the initial building are slightly different from the newly altered house and the was no
driveway and walkway. The previous schedules area was 93.4𝑚2 prior the additions.
After:
The subject property now has three bedrooms, a kitchen, a new living room, dining room, two
bathrooms which one is an en-suite bathroom and its currently under construction (refer to the
annexure for the picture) and a new covered patio. As seen in the above picture new gutters,
downpipes and roof tiling were installed. A Walkway and a driveway were created to allow for people
and cars to enter the premises. The scheduled area of the new additions is 76.50𝑚2
The impact of the build’s condition on the occupants
The indoor and outdoor conditions of the subject property have an impact on the well-being of the
occupants. The are certain building conditions that we have identify that could be beneficial and that
could also be of serious concern when it comes to the well-being of the occupants. From our
observation the subject property has proper indoor ventilation and good artificial and natural lighting
that provides illumination to all areas of the house and this benefits the occupants as they can see
tasks undertaken at night and during the day. The property does not have a negative impact on the
health of the occupants whatsoever. Except for the wires hanging on the ceiling in the living room that
could potentially cause a safety hazard if not fixed and the electrical fence that is not operational, it
cannot fully live up to it function of protecting the occupants from intruders if it is not fixed. The
concrete paving that has weeds in it could shift the pavers and could create a tripping hazard for the
occupants if not rectified.
The mould in the shower may cause serious health problems for the occupants such as allergies if not
removed. The loose faucet in the kitchen may cause corrosion and contamination on the valve which
may be harmful to occupants s it will affect the domestic water supply.
We were unable to get hold of the SG diagram in the deed’s office Pretoria because the erf
that we chose is not consolidated as a one house standing, the only available SG diagram on
their side was a general plan of ext. 16 which indicates the erf number of the property and a
park’s general plan. We were not aware that our property was not consolidated until we were
not to the deeds office to seek for help on how to obtain the S.G number.

has the advantage of getting more
solar radiation during winter than
in summer
Disadvantage:
The orientation of kitchen of the
subject property is facing south
instead of facing east. This is a
disadvantage because if the kitchen
was facing towards the east, it will
allow the UV rays to destroy the
gems that tend to multiply in
presence of moisture and food.
Living Room and Dining East Advantage:
Room East and west receives maximum
solar radiation during summer
since the living room is the most
frequently used room during the
day its best that is oriented in the
east or North.
windows East Advantage:
majority of the windows of the
subject property are facing east
which this is generally good
because it allows the Sun’s UV
rays to penetrate the house in the
mornings.
Bedrooms South and West Advantage:
Rooms that are frequently used at
night such as bedrooms are best
oriented at south and west like the
subject property because they have
a hotter direction.
Bedroom 1 and 2 windows west Advantage:

West is an important orientation
because high intensity of solar
radiation is received during
evening hours, when the internal
gains are also at its peak
(Pamar,2021).
