| Abstract | Statistics shows the construction industry giving impact 65% of Malaysia's economic development and triggered other national development sectors. The builder's ambition to make defects-free buildings that can save the budget allocation and have defects-free structures protecting the property inside the building is essential. When defects occurred (primarily due to water penetration towards the inside of the buildings); the valuable assets located inside will be damaged. The impact of these damages cost millions of Ringgit. This loss value can be reduced if proper and complete defects systematic preventive guidelines are on hand to relevant parties. However, no proper and complete documented guideline on how to get rid of the defects has been neatly produced. This research paper intends to identify complete building defects components and list the proper methods for solving them. Proper categorisation of the building components concerning the actual defects has been extracted from the real case studies gathered within the recent ten-year period. The qualitative research concluded that the need for systematic defects identification and tabulation of properly organised defects lists could help the related industry players eliminate all the defects, especially latent defects, in an organised and effective manner. |
