Identify Visual Component Inspection for Design Non-Destructive Pitch Roof Checklist

Abstract

Inspection is the basis of building structure to obtain assessment information. Assessment is used to get evidence and study the current condition of structure. This is because any structural failure can endanger the safety and health of building occupants. Through inspection, important information can be provided for consistent budget planning. The purpose of this paper is to identify the list of components and subcomponents for pitched roof system to inspection maintenance. The list of components has been reviewed by 3 stakeholder experts consisting of architects and engineers in Malaysia for consideration of the real component in the pitched roof design. The research confirmed the importance of the entire identified component pitch roof based on the 30 experts in roof fabrication. This paper serves to promote awareness among the various building inspections about the list of pitched roof components to identify components quickly. This inspection checklist has been validated by the expert to get feedback on the development. This checklist is aiming to design standard inspection for pitched roof and to reduce bias comparison inspection between various inspectors and provide effective service to building owner.
