The document provides a dilapidation survey report for the Malaysia Architecture Museum in Bandar Hilir, Melaka. It was prepared by 8 students for submission to Dr. Shahrul Yani Said. The report includes background on the building, constructed in the 1700s during the Dutch colonial period. An inspection was conducted to identify defects, which were mainly minor, including cracks, peeling paint, and detached elements. The major defect was a construction error with staircase slopes being too high. Recommendations will be provided to address the defects. Floor plans, elevation drawings and photos are attached in appendices.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the inspection is to determine the element of the building and also its material
using condition survey tools, investigate the defects on the building, the causes of defects, analysis the
data and suggest ways overcome the problems.
The scope of work of our inspections are to study the building elements and its component of
the building, determine the space usage of the building, determine the defects in the building and
making the condition survey, prepare the remedies of the defects in the building and prepare the
measured drawing of the building and prepare dilapidation survey report. We provide the location plan
and the building lot plan.
For the inspection there are few areas within the building external and internal that we were
unable to access due to restriction from the museum. We had classified these areas as our limitation
and the survey cannot be conducted. All information provided in the Appendix will assist and correlate
with our findings and data.

CHAPTER 2 BACKGROUND AND HISTORY OF BUILDING
This two-storey building which houses the museum is distinctive on its own way with its long
history and the uniqueness of architectural design. Built in the 1700s during the Dutch colonial period in
Melaka, the building was used as a dwelling place for dignitaries and centre of administration. Located at
Jalan Kota, Bandar Hilir, this building which also known as the “Red Building” has undergone several
processes of change in its usage.
The building was used as an administration office during the British colonial rule. Aster the
independence, it was occupied by the Malacca Water Board (MWB) from 1978 to 1980s under Malacca
State Government. In 1999, the Department of Museums and Antiquities carried out restoration works
until its full completion in 2000 and in 2004, this building was converted into museum known as the
Malaysia Architecture Museum.
CHAPTER 3 DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE OF BUILDING
The building design signified the adaption of Dutch building technology in local architecture.
Laterite stones slabs was constructed and arranged as the base of the building. The walls meanwhile are
constructed from a combination of laterite stones and Dutch bricks as well as wood to ensure their
sturdiness. And as for the flooring, terracotta tile finishes was used for the ground floor and wooden
flooring for the upper part. Most of the window frames in this building are louvered double-glazed (two
leaves) using wood and glass. The structure of the roof is rather steep, using Marseilles roof tiles.
The adaption of Dutch architectural concept provides several living spaces in the building. The
“stoepe” is the intermediate space where the lobby is located. The “voorhuis” is the arrival hall, while
Space III is for the “dining room”. Moving along, Space IV or upper area is a space with little more privacy
and Space V or the “loft” is raised space that allows for adequate air circulation.
This building has been gazetted as a historical monument under the Antiquities Act 168 (1976)
and has today been re-gazetted under the National Heritage Act 2005.

Most of the defects occur in this building is minor defect and only have one is major defect
based on the inspection work that we have done. The major defect at this building is slope of the
staircase are too high and can be a dangerous for occupants when in rushing use that staircase and
can possible accidently occur. That is because the construction error. That defect just a condition
monitoring. Those elements still fulfill their function but risks that can lead to fatality or injury. For
the minor categories of defect which are rotten, peeling of paint, discoloration, crack, spalling,
rusting, dampness, blistering, detached, decay, termite attack, sagging and plant growth. All these
defects are not serious but if left unattended, it could lead to a serious damage or failure in the
building structure.
Based on the pie chart, 21% from the defect analysis come from the crack. 19% come from
peeling of paint that occurs on the wall of the building. 13% of defect come from detached and plant
growth. 6% from defect analysis come from blistering and dampness. 4% of defect come from
spalling, decay and termite attack and smallest percentages which is only 2% come from rotten,
sagging, construction error, rusting and discoloration.

CHAPTER 5 RECOMMENDATION
As the recommendation, recommendable that the owner or the responsible party organized
schedule for maintenance or make a planned maintenance for this museum to keep this museum in a
good condition for occupies benefaction. Maintenance schedule need to provide to avoid any defect occur
and the maintenance can be do it by routine or by month based on the use.
By doing this, it can minimize the building defects and it can help to providing safety to the tourists
and visitors. The museum also can achieve its maximum operating efficiency. Furthermore, it can also
improve the museum physical of appearance and performances. Other than that can avoid tourists and
visitors of the museum does not feeling comfortable.
CHAPTER 6 CONCLUSION
As a conclusion, the total score of Malaysia Architecture Museum is 5.89. It is in a second
category which is in a fair condition and its range was in between of 5 – 12. In our inspection, we have
recognized and recorded 48 numbers of defect in total and the most defect occurred was crack, where it
is 21% in total of percentage. Based on the defect sheet, we found that the defect that risk and can lead
to a serious injury for tourists and visitor is the staircase that is too steep and does not follow the UBBL.
We also have identified some of the building elements such as floor, column, door and window,
wall, ceiling and roof, they were in fair condition so as the building services such as a lamp, fan, socket,
switch and air conditioner. They are all were in good condition like a new one. On the other hand, we
have increased our knowledge on elements of the building. The elements of the buildings are too
functionality towards the building.
By making this survey, we also learn about the defects of this building. For this building, we have
identified that there were no remedies works are taken. This is very dangerous because it lead the defects
to become worst. Therefore, the maintenance works should be carried out as soon as possible. We have
to analyse the defects in order to know the possible causes and do what are the suitable remedies works.
