1.1 Introduction of Industrial Training
Each student of UiTM‘s graduates were required to attend industry

training to meet the syllabus of learning set by the institution. Through
industry training, students are exposed to the real environment of the scope
of work related to the field of learning taken at their institution. Therefore, the
true knowledge and experience of a problem can be solved wisely because
theoretical and practical learning itself is something different in which their
skills are tested.
For the first session, I have undergo my practical training at JKR Segamat
in department of Senggara Bangunan. During my training, mostly I am
involved in maintenance works and repair works of building. Besides that, I
have been involved in construction for dining hall of PULAPOL in Batu Anam.
The date that I been started my practical training in JKR Segamat is on 26
January until 2 March 2017.
For the second session, I have undergo my practical training in K Builders

Training and Consulting in Building Surveyor Department from 24th July until
30th September 2017. I was given the opportunity to involve in dilapidation
work of Projek Perumahan Rakyat (PPR) in Kuala Lumpur. It gives me
experiences and strengthen my skills to become a good building surveyor.

1.2 Purpose of Industrial Training
Industrial Training refers to work experience done during the program of

study that is relevant to professional development prior to graduation. From
the industrial training, the students will also develop skills in work ethics,
communication, management and others. Moreover, this practical training
program allows students to relate theoretical knowledge with its application in
the manufacturing industry.
1.3 Objectives of Industrial Training
The objectives of industrial training are:

 To provide students the opportunity to test their interest in a particular
career before permanent commitments are made.
 To develop skills in the application of theory to practical work situations.
 To develop skills and techniques directly applicable to their careers.
 Internships will increase a student's sense of responsibility and good work
habits.
 To expose students to real work environment experience gain knowledge
in writing report in technical works/projects.
 Internship students will have higher levels of academic performance.
 Internship programs will increase student earning potential upon
graduation.
 To build the strength, teamwork spirit and self-confidence in students life.
 To enhance the ability to improve students creativity skills and sharing
ideas.
 To build a good communication skill with group of workers and learn to
learn proper behavior of corporate life in industrial sector.
3
(2015180263)
 The student will be able instilled with good moral values such as
responsibility, commitment and trustworthy during their training.
1.4 Company Background
Students of Building Surveyor in Faculty of Architecture, Planning and

Surveying are required to undergo industrial training for two separate
sessions which at the end of the fourth semester and at the end of the fifth
semester. Every industry training period is approximately for 5 weeks.
Therefore, there are some students who make industrial training at two
different training places.

CHAPTER 2
Importance Of Dilapidation Report
20
(2015180263)
2.1 Introduction
Building and demolition work normally requires the use of a lot of heavy
machinery and equipment, and sometimes involves some serious changes to the
site it‘s being carried out on. This can include the removal of a lot of soil, existing
slabs or footings and possibly trees. Even if it‘s carefully managed, this sort of
work has the potential to cause damage to adjoining or adjacent houses or other
nearby infrastructure. Above and beyond the requirements for the protection of
adjoining properties, we may also need to arrange to have special reports
undertaken on the state of nearby buildings such as dilapidated survey.
Dilapidate means (of a building or object) in a state of disrepair or ruin as

a result of age or neglect. ―Dilapidations‖ refers to breaches of lease covenants
that relate to the condition of a property during the term of the tenancy or when
the lease ends
While Dilapidation Survey is also known as a pre-construction condition

survey in Malaysia (or sometimes called structural survey). A dilapidation survey
done by a Professional Building Surveyor is an inspection of the existing
structural condition of the surrounding buildings and structures before the
commencement of a demolition, construction or development. All prominent
defects in the form of cracks, settlement, movement, water seepage, spalling
concrete, distortion, subsidence and other building defects will be recorded in
photographs together with notes.
A dilapidation report is a report on the condition of a property at a given

point in time. It records any existing damage, and the state of any particular
aspects of the property that are likely to be affected by construction work,
excavation or demolition.
These reports are normally carried out on nearby properties both before
work begins, and after it‘s finished. Comparing the two reports offers a clear
picture of any damage that might have occurred as a result of building,
excavation or demolition work.
21
(2015180263)
2.2 When a Professional Dilapidation Survey Report is required
A dilapidation survey or pre-construction survey shall be conducted by a

Professional Building Surveyor to the existing condition of all the adjoining
buildings, including infrastructures before the commencement of demolition,
excavation, piling, construction, renovation or before taking over a superstructure
work
For Contractors & Developers:
 Before carry out any excavation, piling works, demolition, renovation or

construction of a new development. A formal dilapidation survey can save
from thousands or millions of dollars claim from third parties.
For Property Owners:
 Before renovation, alteration & addition (A & A), demolition, construction

or reconstruction work carried out at neighboring areas.
 Before any underground construction works carried out in the surrounding

areas of property.
In a post construction condition survey, a building inspection and a comparison

will be made against the dilapidation survey/ pre-construction condition survey.
22
(2015180263)
2.3 Purpose of a Dilapidation Survey?
The purpose of dilapidation surveys or pre construction condition survey

is a survey for landlord or tenant to record defects and wants of repair,
sometimes cost. It also to provide an accurate record, preconstruction and post
construction works, of the condition of the buildings. While it is not expected that
neighboring construction will cause damage to any building, the survey is
undertaken as a precautionary measure.
The survey report done by a Professional Building Surveyor will assist the
building owners, contractors and developers in the event of a claim for damage,
as the dilapidation survey report provides written documentation on the
preconstruction condition of the property.
In addition, the dilapidation report also involves towards lease property.

Leases spell out who is responsible for repair and maintenance. A dilapidation
survey may be required during the lease or at the end to require landlord or
tenant to keep their part of the bargain.
Dilapidation Report acting on behalf of the landlord or tenant to provide

professional advice in respect of disrepair claims during or at the end of the
lease, all the terms including the preparation of Schedules of Dilapidations and
subsequent negotiation of the claim.
23
(2015180263)
2.4 Dilapidation report contains
Dilapidation reports are normally carried out by experienced building

surveyor, who has a good understanding of the aspects of a house or property
that are likely to be affected by nearby works, and who know exactly what to look
for.
Dilapidation reports typically include things like notes, measurements,

photographs and diagrams which give an accurate picture of the state of the
buildings being inspected, and are normally signed by both the owner of the
property being inspected, and the party having construction work done.
2.5 Importance of Dilapidation
Dilapidations claims are vitally important to any occupier because:
 Cost – the cost of fulfilling repairing and other obligations can run into
millions of pounds
 Reputational risk – dilapidations claims can end up in court
 Time – managing a claim can take up significant time and effort
 Limit your options – if occupiers do not plan properly for dilapidations
lease break options can be voided
Before signing a lease

The principles of buyer beware holds as true for leases as for any other
purchase. Occupiers should familiar themselves with the repairing
obligations under the terms of a lease and, as far as possible, limit their
obligations prior to signing the lease. Tenants should consider:
 Whether the repairing obligation is fair or is the liability potentially

onerous?
24
(2015180263)
 If an occupier has negotiated a rent-free period in a lease to compensate

for a building‘s poor condition, will the savings in rent be sufficient to meet
their repairing obligations?
 What are the occupier‘s liabilities when the lease does expire?
 What proportion of alterations to the building will need reinstating, if at all?
 What repairs will need to be undertaken, and when, leading up to lease
end?
 What needs to be redecorated and cleaned, how often and to what
standard?
 What is the potential diminution in the value of the landlord‘s reversion at
the projected lease end?
Knowing the answers to these questions will enable an occupier to decide how
much money they will need to set aside throughout the term of the lease to
finance any repairs by lease expiry. It also avoids substantial and unbudgeted
dilapidations claims.
During The Lease
A landlord can serve an Interim Schedule of Dilapidations at any point during the
lease term. However, it may be possible for a tenant to negotiate relief from
some of these repairs.
In addition, some leases allow tenants to exercise a break clause after a

specified period of time before the lease expires.
A landlord may have imposed strict conditions under which this can be exercised,
including compliance with the tenant‘s repair and other obligations.
25
(2015180263)
At The End Of A Lease
Negotiating dilapidations is invariably an adversarial process so

developing a strategy for a proactive approach to managing a potential claim,
including opening an early dialogue with the landlord can help ensure a smooth
exit at lease end.
At lease end, an occupier will need to:
 Determine what repairs need completing and how these can be

implemented in the lead up to exit
 Understand what the landlord wants done with alterations made to the
building by the occupier and whether they need to be reinstated
 Check the lease to understand what needs to be redecorated and
cleaned, and to what standard
 Assess whether a defense exists with regard to the diminution in the
value of the landlord‘s reversion (Section 18 of the Landlord and
Tenant Act 1927)
Schedules of Dilapidations are typically served by the landlord in the last six
months of a lease (a ‗terminal‘ Schedule of Dilapidations). These are intended to
outline all the alleged breaches of the lease and stipulate the required remedies.
Unless an occupier has completed the work required under their lease
obligations in advance of lease end the landlord will usually issue a terminal
Schedule of Dilapidations. This schedule will outline the works the landlord
deems necessary and include a claim for damages (Quantified Demand).
Disputes frequently arise over whether all items identified by the landlord‘s
surveyor really are a breach of the tenant‘s covenants and over what would be
an appropriate remedy.
26
(2015180263)
2.6 Dealing with Dilapidations Through The Term Of A Lease
Dealing With Repairs at Outset
For an occupier it is important to avoid adopting a potentially onerous

repairing liability at commencement of a lease.
The most common way an occupier can limit their obligations is by

recording the property‘s state of repair prior to the lease commencement in a
Schedule of Condition. To be effective, this schedule must be agreed by both
parties and annexed to the lease. These schedules provide a snapshot of the
condition at commencement and are by no means infallible. The level of detail
provided by the Schedule of Condition and subsequent deterioration during the
term will determine liability in line with the wording of the lease.
A common misconception is that if a particular part of a property is in

disrepair at the start of a lease, repairs are not required for that element. This is
rarely the case: a tenant is often required to make good or ‗put into repair‘ that
element. If repair of the element is not possible, many leases require the
occupier to renew it.
Repairs: During A Lease
An occupier will also need to decide how much it would be prudent to set
aside during the term of the lease to finance repairs on termination. Dilapidation
is a relevant matter under International Accounting Standard 37. The Financial
Reporting Standard 12 allows for future repairing liability to be treated as an
expense, which can be included within the profit and loss account of the firm. It
will then be excluded from the company‘s tax computation until it is incurred.
27
(2015180263)
Repairs: Lease Break
Some leases allow tenants the option to exercise a break clause after a
specified period of time, but before the lease expires, for example an occupier
might be able to break a 10 year lease after five years.
Often a landlord will put conditions on a lease break such as vacant

possession, payment of rent and full or material compliance with the repair and
decorating covenants. If a tenant fails to comply with the break conditions, then
the option will be invalidated.
Dilapidations: Lease Expiry
At the end of the lease an occupier can be hit with a claim for all the
tangible aspects the landlord believes are wrong with the building. This is listed in
a Schedule of Dilapidations, usually compiled by the landlord‘s building surveyor.
A landlord, however, is not obliged to serve a Schedule of Dilapidations

before the lease expires so it would be prudent for the tenant to take advice from
a chartered building surveyor on potential liabilities in time to carry out any
necessary remedial works.
A landlord will typically serve a terminal Schedule of Dilapidations and a

Quantified Demand during the last six months of the lease and may follow this up
with an updated terminal schedule or ‗final‘ schedule prepared at or after lease
end. This includes details of what the landlord estimates to be the cost of the
remedial works. It also outlines what the landlord considers to be additional
losses as a result of the breaches of the repair and other covenants, including
loss of rent while works that should have been undertaken by the tenant are
undertaken.
It is often impractical for occupiers to carry out many of the repairs whilst
still in occupation. However, if the landlord then proceeds to undertake all the
28
(2015180263)
repairs, the tenant may be liable for the costs and professional fees incurred,
over which they have no control.
Occupiers should take advice on whether to complete the works

themselves before the end of the lease or wait for the landlord to serve a
Terminal Schedule and Quantified Demand.
2.7 The Dilapidations Protocol
Common areas of dispute:
The Dilapidations Protocol sets out the steps the court would normally
expect prospective parties to have followed at lease end and prior to the
commencement of proceedings.
It establishes a reasonable process and timetable for the exchange of

information relevant to the dispute. It also sets standards for the content and
quality of the schedules of dilapidations and quantified demands and the conduct
of pre-action negotiations. Its ultimate aim is to enable tenant and landlord to
avoid litigation and agree a settlement of their dispute.
29
(2015180263)
2.8 Fees and Mesne Profits in Dilapidations
Mesne Profits (pronounced mean profits) are the additional losses that a landlord
may suffer as a result of a tenant allowing a premises to fall into disrepair.
What Are Mesne Profits?
In a nutshell, they are the losses the landlord incurs for the rent, rates and
service charges for the period necessary for carrying out the repair works
required where the tenant has failed to do so. This period will include the time
required to prepare specifications, put out, receive and analyse tenders, select
and negotiate with a contractor and to supervise and sign off the works.
However, often the landlord will be expected to have taken appropriate steps
prior to the end of the term.
The landlord will have to be able to demonstrate that he has suffered a

loss of rent as a result of the disrepair in question and not as a state of the
property market at the time.
The fact that premises may have been re-let will not necessarily
extinguish or limit a claim for loss of rent, if the landlord can prove that in order to
secure the new lease he had to make concessions either in the form of reduced
rent, or a rent free period on recognition of the disrepair. However, this in itself
may not be sufficient evidence of loss of rent, as another tenant may have been
found who would have accepted the property in its state of disrepair without
requiring a rent free period.
A landlord should be careful, though. A schedule of dilapidations served

prior to the expiry of the lease will probably include mesne profits; but if the
property stands empty for several months after expiry, and the landlord has not
carried out any works, then he might find that a claim for mesne profits falls on
deaf ears
30
(2015180263)
Surveyor’s Fees
The statement of claim may also include any reasonable costs and fees
incurred in obtaining advice on the extent of the works, preparing specifications for
the works and supervising the works. However, damages will not extend to the cost
of ascertaining whether or not the tenant has breached an obligation to repair, nor to
the costs of compiling or serving a schedule of dilapidations unless there is an
express covenant within the lease allowing the landlord to do so.
Similarly, the claim might include the landlord’s surveyor’s fees for
negotiating the claim. However, this can only be included where the lease explicitly
makes provision for this – otherwise, these fees are to be borne by the landlord.

CHAPTER 3
The project
32
(2015180263)
3.1 Project Background
The report title is about The Process of Dilapidation Report for

Conservation Building. This scope of report is about the process of
dilapidation report that been made after dilapidated survey.
The official name of this project is Dilapidation Report of Old Mosque of

Kg Laut, Nilam Puri, Kota Bharu, Kelantan Darul Naim. This scope of report
is about the step that been taken in preparing the dilapidation report after
inspection work in site. The main objective for this conservation project is to
relocate the current Mosque of Kampong Laut, currently located in Nilam
Puri, Kota Baru, Kelantan, back to its former site in Kampong Laut, in the
District of Tumpat, Kelantan.
This project was executed because of the new site reserved for the
relocation program is not the exact original site as to when the building was
dismantled and relocated in 1967. The original site has been over the years
been washed away into the river as a result of continuous erosion and
sedimentation of the river banks due to repeated flooding of Kelantan River.
As the building surveyor company, K Builders has been responsible to do
dilapidation survey and dilapidation report of Old Mosque of Kg Laut.

33
(2015180263)
In this relocation project, only the main prayer hall will be dismantled and
relocated. This is because most other additions to the mosque complex were
added in later years when it came under the management of Department of
Museum some years after relocation. These additions were also done in later
stage to meet the increasing demand from local community. Another reason is
that, the new site offered for this relocation program in Kg Laut, is rather tight to
accommodate the whole complex of the mosque. The additional components that
were added were the ablution structures, the entrance foyer on the rear and right
of the main prayer hall and a few gazebos.
Image 1.2 : The original site of the mosque and the current location at Nilam Puri
The relocation program will also include relocation of ‗missing‘ furniture

that belongs to the mosque, now in possession of some other mosques. These
items must be returned; they are the ‗mimbar‘ (pulpit) which is in Pasir Pekan old
mosque, the ‗kolah‘ (water tank for ablution) now in the current new mosque of
Kampong Laut and the ‗beduk‘ now in Muhammadi Mosque in Kota Bharu.
These items need to be repaired, restored and treated before fixing into the
mosque (a separate instruction will be given on the way these items shall be
restored).
34
(2015180263)
When these items are placed into the mosque, they help to enhance the
character and historic value of the mosque. This help to re-establish the nostalgic
feeling amongst the local community while at the same time alleviating the
mosque back to its original authenticity.

Although National Heritage Department (Jabatan Warisan Negara) has not

formally gazetted the building as National Heritage, this project shall refer to
conservation guidelines that has been published by the department. All
documentation process, approaches to conservation shall be in line with
international charters and conservation guidelines of the National Heritage
Department.

3.2 Historic and Background of the Building
3.2.1 Historical background of Kampung Laut Old Mosque
Kampong Laut Mosque is currently located in Nilam Puri, about 18 km

from Kota Bharu town, Kelantan Darul Naim. The building serves as a
congregation place and activity centre for students of two neighbouring
universities, ie. Academy of Islamic Studies, University of Malaya and secondly
the Kolej Islam Antarabangsa Sultan Ismail Petra (KIAS)
The mosque was relocated from the original site, Kampong Laut which is
on the western bank of Kelantan River about 18 Km away. This relocation was
seen as one of the best options to save the building from further damage due to
frequent floodings of Kelantan River. Since 1966, the mosque in its new setting
has served well to students, staff and the local community here in Nilam Puri.
Although in the beginning the mosque was far from the river, frequent
flooding of Kelantan River has resulted in serious erosion to river bank and today
part of the original site is in fact in the river. The 1966 flood, known as ‗banjir
merah‘ had caused serious damage. The old mosque began to lean and tilt
further into the river. The extended spaces at the rear and right side of the
mosque has been washed into the river (refer photo next page). Soon a joint
effort by the ‗Persatuan Sejarah Malaysia‘ and the State Government began to
make efforts to save and to relocate the mosque. It was decided to be relocated
to Nilam Puri, next to Centre of Islamic Studies, University of Malaya.
The building was dismantled in November 1967 by a group of carpenters

headed by Encik Hussein bin Salleh from Kampung Bunut Payong under the
supervision of Tuan Haji Zain bin Haji Awang Kechik*. The mosque was
reconstructed base on the original forms using as much materials as possible.
Only the main prayer hall was reconstructed due to lack of information on the
building and measurements.

On May 8th 1970 (23 Rabiul Awal 1389), Tun Haji Hamdan bin Sheikh
Tahir on behalf of ‗Persatuan Sejarah Malaysia‘ (Malaysian Historical Society)
officially handed over the old mosque to the then Chief Minister of Kelantan, YAB
Dato‘ Haji Mohd Asri bin Haji Muda, who received on behalf of the State
Government.
Image 1.8: Tuan Haji Hamdan speaking, before handing back the
Mosque to the State Government in May 1970
In February 1988, some additional spaces were added to the building,

this include the minaret, serambi besar, serambi kecil, balai lintang, wakaf orang
kaya, toilets and ablution tubs for men and women. Even the roof tiles were
replaced.
Based on the oral history, passed down over generations, the current
Penghulu, Encik Mohd Ghazali Harun, mentioned his grandmother used to tell
that the mosque originally had tall columns, creating a huge and tall space
underneath the building. Such height allows an elephant with its standing mahout
with a sword pointing up, to pass through.
38
(2015180263)
Another villager, in an interview session, Pak Su Harun who inherited the

‗siak‘ job from his father, mentioned that the columns of the mosque were
actually buried under the sand when the dismantling process took place. To
make job much easier, the columns were sawn off, leaving some deep in the
sand. This is why the current mosque in Nilam Puri has very low gap between
floor and ground level.

exposing the columns that have been buried under the sand (right photo) after
the 1966 flood. This proves the mosque was built on high columns.
39
(2015180263)
3.2.2 The original site
Due to continuous erosion, most of the original site of the mosque has now been
displaced in the River Kelantan. A recent visit to the site, saw only a portion of
original site and cemetery are left. Some remaining tombstones were displaced
due to recent 2014 flood water. The site also, seems to be raised slightly higher
than the road level, due to sedimentation, when flood water has reseeded.

3.2.3 The New mosque of Kampong Laut
Soon after the old mosque was relocated to Nilam Puri, a new mosque were built
about 350 further west of the original site. It is a larger building, incorporating
conventional construction techniques of post and beam, using more durable
materials of bricks and reinforced concrete. The current mosque also serves as
jamek mosque, where Friday prayers are held.

3.3 Element
3.3.1 Wall Elements
The external wall at the mosque is made of solid timber wall paneling,
known as ‗Janda Berhias‘. It is believed the wood is from ‗Merbau‘ species.
However a recognized authority or department such as MTIB (Malaysia
Timber Industry Board) may need to be called in to check and confirm this.
There are a series of full height windows placed at the external wall,
directly connected to the aisle (‗serambi‘). The surface area of the wall at the
Main Prayer Hall is the largest which is approximately 126.4m², followed by
the external wall of ―Wakaf Orang Kaya‖ which is 53.6m². The least external
wall area is at the ―Balai Lintang‖ and Verandah which is 20.4m² because this
area has hardwood railings (‗Pagar Musang‘) at the perimeter.
At the Main Prayer Hall, the height of the wall is 1.9m for the lowest and
2.8m at the highest wall. Whereas at the ―Wakaf Orang Kaya‖, the lowest wall
is 2.2m and the highest wall height is 2.8m. The thickness of the wall at the
Main Prayer Hall and ―Wakaf Orang Kaya‖ is 25mm with 40mm structure
while the hardwood railing is 15mm thick.
3.3.2 Openings Elements
There are two types of openings at the mosque. The window openings
along the ‗serambi‘ on the left side is of full height with double swing panels,
while at the ‗Wakaf Orang Kaya‘ (right side wall are provided with rather
unique sliding windows. The hardwood grill is openable from inside. There
are 12 full height windows at the Main Prayer Hall with each window has the
dimension of 1780mm * 960mm.
43
(2015180263)
3.3 3 Floor Elements
The floor to the Main Prayer Hall is raised about 910mm from the ground
while at the serambi is about 760mm from the ground (due to a drop in floor
level inside the mosque. The floor height is much lower than the original
height as seen in the original site.
The timber columns were buried deep in the sand due to erosion and
sedimentation. As such it was very difficult to lift and dismantle the posts. A
quick solution to dismantle was the timber columns were cut off, leaving the
remaining columns buried in the ground.
The story passed down for generations, mentioned that the mosque was
very tall. The space in between the floor and the ground was tall enough to
allow an elephant and its sword wielding mahout to pass through.
The floor boards are rather large thick, 100mmX75mm. this massive floor
has eliminated the use of floor joists to support, The Main Prayer Hall has the
largest area, which is about 222.4m. The ―Balai Lintang‖ and Verandah has
an area of 121.5m², while the ‗Wakaf Orang Kaya‘ is about 49.7m².
All columns are placed on a concrete base or known as ‗tuku‘ in Malay.

Floor boards are supported by long timber bearers or beam that pass through
a cut opening in the posts/columns.

3.4. Building Defects and Overall Condition
The description on major defects and condition of the mosque is divided

into a few components, such as underneath the floors (including timber flooring,
bearers and joists), columns and wall plates, the roof, singgora tiles, doors and
windows. This three century old mosque, uses timber as its main construction
material. As such, main defect are all related to timber rot and splits/cracks.
In the space underneath the raised timber flooring, some columns suffer
serious cracks and rot. Most appear to have larger gap at the base and gets
smaller as it reaches the area where bearers run through. All columns are placed
on concrete base/plinth measuring about 405mm cube. The base is also tied via
metal plates fixed into the top surface of the concrete base. The plate helps to
give extra hold and strength to column, even though serious cracks are
happening. The ground seems dry and thus, there is less threat to dampness
and water getting into the end grain via capillary action, ie from ground to
columns.
Images 2.3, 2.4 & 2.5: Some indications on condition level at column base. There
is clear a evident that serious rots inside the wood is taking place. These may
need repair or replacement with proper treatment.
45
(2015180263)
Serious end rots at almost all joints and connections involves connections
between hip ridge and purlin. This is dangerous because poor and displacement
of connections may result in slips or chipping off. This may lead the timber to fall
down, posing injuries to people in the prayer hall.
The top tier roof, is reachable via a cat ladder permanently fixed on a landing
near the niche (‗mihrab‘) area. The ladder connects to the attic floor right
underneath the top tier roof. The attic floor is made of tounge and grooved timber
boardings.
Images 2.6, 2.7 & 2.8: Other component that show signs of rot is the end of hip
ridge (‗kasau perabong‘) and at connections between purlins (‗gulung-gulung‘)
and the hip ridge.

CHAPTER 4
Problem Identify
58
(2015180263)
4.1 Transportation to relocate the structure
Problem:
Suitable procedure and transportation is required to relocate the Old

Mosque of Kampong Laut, currently located in Nilam Puri, Kota Baru, Kelantan,
back to its former site in Kampong Laut, in the District of Tumpat, Kelantan. The
distance between two locations is about 15 miles which requires a considerable
distance to move. The structure of the building is quite old and using materials
from the timber requires careful observation and maintenance. Therefore, the
difficulty in finding appropriate methods and safe transportation takes a long time
to obtain.
Solution:
K Builders as the Building Surveyor consultant should monitor the

condition of the structure before, during and after the relocate of Old Mosque of
Kampung Laut to make sure the condition of the structure is good and no defect
were recorded cause by the transportation.
59
(2015180263)
4.2 Maintenance and monitoring to protect the timber structure
Problems:
A coherent strategy of regular monitoring and maintenance is crucial for

the protection of historic timber structures and their cultural significance. Due to
old structure by timber as major material in Old Mosque of Kampung Laut, it
need specific maintenance and special method to protect the timber from
deteriorate its function.
Solutions:
Neglect of routine small repairs inevitably leads to greater efforts and

expense and ultimately to major repairs, which might have been avoided or at
least postponed. Maintenance of buildings is generally regarded as a continuous
process to prevent the decay of the materials and the deterioration of the
structure, such as regular repainting and removal of leaves from gutters.
When buildings are regularly maintained, the period between more drastic
interventions can be greatly prolonged. For instance in Japan, at Himeji Castle,
built at the beginning of the seventeenth century, the castle lords checked
vertical and horizontal distortions every twenty to thirty years, and reinforced or
repaired the buildings as required, by adding braces and supports, and replacing
roof-tiles. This was regarded as regular maintenance.
Regular inspections are a vital part of the procedure for building

maintenance and for the monitoring of the development of a structure. A
systematic approach using a manual for guidance will help in planning the time
scale and scope of inspections. The interval between inspections may be
governed by local needs and uses of the building and the environmental
conditions. Records of all inspections should be kept. The inspection should be
carried out by a professional, such as an architectural conservator or a master
builder who is able to draw up a report containing recommendations.
60
(2015180263)
Maintenance work can be divided into two main categories: routine or

day-to-day maintenance and periodic maintenance. The first depends on the
constant vigilance of the building owner. It includes actions that can usually be
dealt with without the need to employ outside labor. On the other hand, periodic
maintenance is more in the nature of minor repairs and therefore requires the
assistance of a professional craftsman, preferably with knowledge of historic
timber structures.
Day-to-day maintenance includes actions such as clearing leaves and

accumulated silt from gutters, controlling plant growth, checking faults in
rainwater receptacles, removing bird droppings and checking ventilation. Minor
repairs and maintenance involving professional assistance includes maintenance
of eaves gutters and downpipes, repair to metal coverings, adjustment of roof
covering such as slates and roof tiles and repainting. In both categories the main
issue to remember is that prevention is best achieved by ensuring that the timber
is kept dry and well ventilated
61
(2015180263)
CHAPTER 5
Conclusion
62
(2015180263)
Starting from 24th July until 30th September 2017 had been placed at K
Builders Training and Consulting for my Industrial Training. I am very thankful
and fell very honoured for the opportunity given to me to learn and gain
experience in the industrial life. Being placed at the Building Survey agency is
very different situation from working at the goverment sector.
From my perspective and what I have learn and observed, K Builders

Training and Consulting is an agency that really close to the construction
community which specialize in in-house and general training programmes and
consultancy for contractors, developers, construction personnel and
professionals. It also functions as event manager for clients who require
seminars, courses, workshops, conferences and exhibitions to be organized.
During my internship, I am glad to have encountered a positive working

environment. All the staffs in building surveyor department is very supportive
towards me, shared their experiences working over the years at building surveyor
sector, allowed me to get involved in the projects especially in inspection works
that I have been involved from the early stages until now the report is done. AtK
Builders, I also learned and observed how the Building Surveyor deal with the
owner of the building, public and occupant involved in inspection work and to
solve the problem that occur during the inspection and sometimes there is
unexpected problem occur.
In the industry of building survey, there are many aspect the must be
taken seriously. Quality, money, time and disciplines are very important aspects
that affecting the field work. The culture in works is vital in every industries, it
teaches people on how to manage their work. The difference of working culture
between in the office and construction sites must be familiarized. Working in the
private sector is not easy as they always need to pay attention to various projects
at the same time. They need to analyze and making decision when it comes to
choose the suitable method to ensure that the defect of the building that have
been inspect can be overcome. They also must make sure that all the projects
63
(2015180263)
done meet the standard and requirement that have been set up by all the act and
guidelines of Building Surveyor that have been set out.
To be concluded, Building Surveyors are allowed to comment on the

condition of the property, outline areas of concern and propose resolution of
these concerns. They can highlight issues with the building and identify potential
problems in the future. It will cost more than a straight forward valuation, but this
reflects the work involved. So the building surveyor is important to make sure the
building maintain its function.
