6 Conclusion

Dampness and unmistakable cracks represent common manifestation of possible defects. Interior dampness can, however, frequently lead to cracks, undoubtedly making it difficult to correctly determine the root cause and the appropriate action. Talib et al. [5] succinctly summarized that building interior related defects can be conveniently divided into five (5) significant categories which are invariably dampness, visible cracks, detach, wear and tear, and biological category [5].

The entire buildings are subjected to various forms of defects, failures, deterioration, and variations [21]. The literature has explored several building defects and contributing factors which can be associated with the major theme of this research. Bakri and Mydin [21] stressed that it is significant to appraise each defect and ultimate failure in every key part of the building and assuredly find out the primary causes of each individual defect and failure. Under those circumstances, the remedy procedure should be done correctly. The contributing factors to these fundamental defects and failures must be investigated intensely. Once the possible causes of the defects and failures were found out, it is imperative to distinguish how to keep away from it in the future and reduce the effect to the minimum stage.

Having stated on the above matter, the graphic (Fig. 2) can be properly referred as a published summary to the book-related reviews invariably done at this qualifying stage. There are twelve optimal levels of distinct categories that have been pointed out, showed and assuredly found in the scholarly journals, books, or online data related to specific hidden defects or covered up fundamental defects in amicable relation to the building construction part. Even though defects can be undoubtedly related to the austere exterior of the notable buildings from the roof, building skins, or even the foundation part, however, it is the interior part of the buildings indisputably affected the most.
