4.
Kitchen is a space used for cooking. When it
comes to an open kitchen, the dry area's look
should be integrated with the decor of the
living-dining area. This space equipped with
smaller heating devices like microwaves and
toaster ovens, the dry kitchen serves as the
breakfast and / or snacks cooking place

1.3.3 Building Orientation
AFTERNOON SUN
EVENING SUN
MORNING SUN
Figure 1.3.3.1 Building Orientation
The orientation of this house is facing the south side. The sun rises on the left side of the
house and sunset on the right side of the house. This house does not get the direct sunlight
from the sun due to the position of this house at centre of other house and after the renovation,
the post porch in front of house were built cause the sunlight do not enter much into the house.
For the afternoon sun, it was placed on top of the house which is not good because afternoon
sunlight gives more heat and therefore at this moment the occupant in this building may feel
hot due to the direct sunlight. For the evening sun, it was placed at the back of the house,
therefore the occupant may feel less hot than the afternoon sun. To be conclude, this building
has a bad orientation and bad ventilation for the bedroom 1 and living room area because
there were no windows and the sunlight cannot passes through that area due to post porch
that blocked sunlight and cause less sunlight can enter in this house, therefore it causes more
electrical energy to be used.

CHAPTER 2.0 LIMITATION OF INSPECTION
The most common purpose of an inspection of a property is to determine general conditions

rather than to define all defects, which often would not be possible. There are several
exceptions, such as when a specific objective and scope are determined before work begins.
In a typical building inspection, an inspection will not be able to detect every problem or defect
that may exist on a property during a visual inspection, nor will an inspection always be able
to appreciate the full scale of a potential problem, even if it is identified. Based on that case
study, there are everal areas that I can't to the inspection.
PHOTOS DESCRIPTION
1. Roof A roof is the top covering of a structure, and it consists
of the materials and construction necessary to support
it on the building's walls or uprights and protect it from
rain, snow, sunlight, temperature extremes, and wind.
Roof area is limited which means it can be reach using
a ladder. In my case, I don’t have a long ladder that
can reach my roof, so because of that it will prevent
me from making an inspection. According to my rough
vision, my roof has a defect that it will leak when it rains
and it will make the ceiling look wet.
Location: roof top
2. Ceiling Ceiling also a high element in the building. It is too high

and hard to do the inspection. Thus, I don’t have long
ladder so it will risk myself if I do the inspection at
there. Basically, defect in the ceiling is crack because
the roof is leakage due to heavy rain. So, the ceiling
will damp and damage.
Location: Ceiling
13
3. Foundation This is because the foundation is located under the
building and cannot be access. Thus, it should be
under special instructor if want to do the inspection.
Location: Underground
4. Internal wall Inspection cannot see inside the internal wall since it
is covered by huge furniture such as a kitchen cabinet
or electrical wiring.
Location: kitchen
14
CHAPTER 3.0 SCOPE OF WORKS
3.1 Building Inspection
A building inspection should be carried out by a building inspector. A building inspector is often
employed by a city, township, or county and is qualified in one or more areas, allowing them
to make expert judgments regarding whether a facility complies with building code standards.
A building inspector can be licensed as a residential or commercial building inspector, a
plumbing, electrical, or mechanical inspector, or any other specialty-focused inspector capable
of examining structures at various phases of construction.
3.1.1 Condition Survey Procedure
1. Conformation on client instruction
Based on this case study, confirmation of the client's instructions is required before the
inspection may begin. The Building Condition Survey and Assessment (BCSA) was used as
a reference by the clients, Noor Azlina Binti Kamarulzaman and Ts. DR. Suriani Binti Ngah
Abdul Wahab, who required a detailed assessment of this single Storey terrace house from
the beginning to the end. A building surveyor's job is to understand the building problems and
possible causes of the problems and defects in terms of symptoms, causes, and treatments,
and then to suggest suitable solutions to the problems while following the client's instructions.
2. Preliminaries survey or procedures
This home was constructed in the year 8 February 2015 and will be completed in the year 10
October 2016. The construction work took almost 20 months. Puan Rabiaton is the owner of
the building, which has been in use since 20 February 2017.
3. Preparing tools and equipment
Tools and equipment are insufficient for this inspection because everyone in this online
distance learning system had to inspect their own home, so tools became a limitation. In this
residence, there are only a few instruments and tools, such as a spirit level and a measuring
tape.
4. The inspection procedures

i. A preliminary inspection of the entire property to familiarize the surveyor with the
various types and layouts.
ii. An important standard of the main roof and any accessible subsidiary roof voids.
iii. Inspection and assessment of elevation, including structures and finishes, room by
room.
15
iv. A study of the roof structure and coverings from the ground level, using binoculars, if
necessary, as well as from ladders or roof voids when available.
v. The elevation is checked, as well as the building finishes. Inspect the site's
boundaries, outbuildings, and surroundings.
5. Report and submission to client
The client, Noor Azlina Binti Kamarulzaman and Ts. DR. Suriani Binti Ngah Abdul Wahab, will
make a complete report with all of the data from the building inspection.
16
3.1.2 Inspection Procedure
1. A preliminary inspection of whole property to familiarizes the surveyor with

types and layout.
Based on this case study, confirmation needed on the client instruction before start the
inspection. Based on the client which are Noor Azlina Binti Kamarulzaman and Ts. DR. Suriani
Binti Ngah Abdul Wahab, The Building Condition Survey and Assessment (BCSA) and refer
Code of Practice off Building Surveying (CPBS101) as a reference that needs a detail of this
single storey terrace house from the first until finish the inspection. For a building, it is important
for a building surveyor to understand the building defects and the possible causes of the
problems and defects in relation to the symptoms, causes, and treatments, and then to
propose appropriate solutions to the problems in terms of following the client's instructions.
2. A detail inspection of main roof and subsidiary roof which are accessible.
Because there is no access door to the roof, this house's roof has a restricted amount of
space.
3. Room by room inspection and examination of elevation including structures and

finishes.
NO BUILDING ELEMENTS PROBLEMS

1. Wall • Cracks
The walls in this building are plastered so the
vertical cracks typically form when the plaster
expands in humidity and shrinks as it dries.
2. Floor -
3. Ceiling • Paint is peeling off
The paint on ceiling surface is peeling
because of it have a dirty surface.
• Sagging ceiling
The water is soaking from leaking roof piled
onto ceiling plasterboard and pushing it
further towards breaking point.
17
4. Doors • Rusty door grill
The grill has rusted due to the fact that the
owner has not changed since the house was
built, but it is still usable.
5. Windows • Difficult in opening and closing of

glass panel
The window produces an unattractive sound
due to its rust.
4. An examination of the roof structure and coverings from ground level using
binoculars if necessary, and ladders or through roof voids where accessible.
The house is too height and I do not have any ladders so the inspection cannot be continued.
5. An examination of elevation, including the structure finisher

6. Inspection of site boundaries, outbuilding and surrounding external

3.1.3 TOOLS & EQUIPMENT
There are 4 tools that has been used to start the inspection towards this house. The tools and
equipment that has been used are spirit level, l-square, tapping rod and measuring tape.
No. Tools & Equipment Description

1 Measuring tapes are a type of measuring
tape that you should have in your toolkit.
Whether you're an apprentice
construction worker, or a seasoned pro,
you'll utilize a tape measure on a regular
basis. The tool will help you get accurate
measurements for almost every area of
Figure 3.1.3.1 Measuring tape your project.
2 A spirit level is a tool for determining

whether a surface is vertical or horizontal
in reference to the ground. This
instrument may be used to examine the
horizontal and vertical alignment of
something in the construction process,
Figure 3.1.3.2 Spirit level such as the vertical brick layer and tile or
floor finishing.
3. Tapping rode were used to check the
hollowness, surface of the floor and wall.
Figure 3.1.3.3 Tapping Rod

4. L-square use to check the walls meet at
the right angle and also can be used to
check the windows and doors.

3.1.4 TOOLS & EQUIPMENT LIMITATION
NO TOOLS & EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION

1. The humidity, temperature, air velocity, and light
are all measured by this 4-in-1 metre.
Temperature and air velocity or relative humidity
are displayed on the dual LCD at the same time.
The built-in Type K input can be used to measure
high-temperature air or surface temperatures.
FIGURE 3.1.4.1
4-in-1 meter
2. Moisture metres are used to determine the
amount of water in a given substance. This
information can be used to evaluate if the material
is ready to use, if it is especially wet or dry, or if
additional inspection is required. The amount of
moisture in wood and paper goods is critical.
FIGURE 3.1.4.2
Digital moisture meter
20
3. The Digital Caliper (also known as the Digital
Vernier Caliper) is a precision measuring
equipment that may be used to measure both
interior and external lengths. The
distances/measurements are read from a digital
caliper's LCD display in the example below
FIGURE 3.1.4.3
Digital caliper
4. A hygrometer is a device that detects water

vapour in the air, soil, or other enclosed spaces.
When moisture is absorbed, humidity measuring
instruments typically use temperature, pressure,
mass, and a mechanical or electrical change in
the substance. These quantifiable values can be
used to compute humidity via calibration and
computation.
FIGURE 3.1.4.4
Hygrometer
5. The digital angle is a one-of-a-kind piece of
equipment that accurately and quickly measures
angles. It's useful for a variety of tasks, including
remodelling, cabinet installation, counter
installation, roof angle measurement, window or
door installation, aligning wood forms for concrete
pouring, installing carpeting and parquet or tile
floors, aligning and checking bannisters and rails,
and more. It features a lighted digital readout as
FIGURE 3.1.4.5 well as a hold button for pausing the
Digital angle meter measurement. When the pivot needs to be
clamped down to keep the measured angle from
shifting, the thumbscrew is used.

Figure 5.5.1 Pie Chart of Building Condition Assessment
Based on the pie chart shown above, the highest percentage of defects in this case study is
“stain” with 40%. The second highest is “cracks” with 20%. Other than that, defects such as
“unevenness, leakage, squeaky sound and gaps window” is 10% for each. For stains on the
internal wall, the stains occurs due to other paints, the addition of the stain also occurs due to
the furniture being removed so as to leave traces of the furniture on the wall. Next for the
ceiling it also can cause of workmanship poor or the ceiling is in environment with high humidity
and excessive condensation.
Next, the second highest od defect percentage has been shown at defect pie chart which is
“cracks”. The total of this defects is 20%. It can caused by the unskilled worker during they
work. Other than that, it also can cause by the contraction and expansion due to fluctions in
temperature and moisture content. For others defects such as “unevenness, leakage, squeaky
sound and gaps window”. Each of the defects is 10%. The defects is not so severe, in fact the
existing damage will be under observation so that it does not get worse. In conclusion, the
damage in this building doe not have much because the house is still new.

CHAPTER 6.0 (RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSION)
First of all, I would like to give a big thanks towards my building surveyor practice (BSR205)
lecturer, Puan Noorazlina binti Kamarulzaman and Ts.Dr. Suriani binti Ngah Abdul Wahab
who were helping us a lot in completing our task in Building Condition Assesment report. From
their crit session and lecture video every week it has helping me a lot to complete this second
task with a full guidance from them. After the crit session from every week we had already be
commented to make an amendment based on our progress work from week by week. They
will make sure their student managed to get all the information and understand to do the task
smoothly.
Other than that, through this second task that were given to us, I have learned to do an
inspection procedure with the SOP and I also manage to know how to use the building
assessment rating system (BARIS). Besides that, I also manage to identify and find the root
cause of defect problem in the buildings. Based on the defect that I found in my case study, I
advise this customer to take quick action to fix the problems, it is to avoid the significant
consequences. However, I as building surveyor student feel little bit frustrated because of we
cannot manage to go on site and see more defects on building and experienced to be on site.
Last but not least, I am grateful that I manage to complete this report.
