Proper building maintenance should be considered during:
COLLEGE OF ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN
* Planning * Design * Construction, and * Maintenance stages During maintenance stage, effective building maintenance requires: The correct diagnosis of defect, and implementation of the correct remedial measures all based on sound technical knowledge, otherwise waste of capital resources have to be done again.
REPAIRS WITHOUT DIAGNOSES

1. 2.
Problem Definition Field Survey and Inspection a. Visual Inspection, includes: Taken Photos Looking for similar defect in the same area
b.
Field Measurement, includes: Written record about the sizes and dimensions of the defect Samples of the defected material and its adjacent area are taken
THE SYSTEMATIC APPROACH FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF A BUILDING DEFECT 2/2 3. Laboratory Testing of Field Samples Requires Test for: Strength Chemical and physical properties of the field samples Other tests relevant to the defect condition 4. Examine the AS-Built Design Drawings Obtain information relevant to the defect area 5. Analysis and Discussion Compare the Lab. And field study results with the information obtained from the As-built drawings then after that, 6. Conclusion can be withdrawn
