Condition Survey Protocol: A System for Building Condition Assessment

摘要: Building inspection is an important tool in determining building condition by detecting defects and their symptoms. A quick and practical approach is needed to perform periodic building inspection, as a screening process before conducting a more detailed inspection for severe defects. Based on previous research, it is important to establish a screening tool based on building rating. Hence, we developed Condition Survey Protocol (CSP) matrix as a standard for visual building inspection which based on two assessment; Condition Assessment and Priority Assessment. Later, an online system developed for analysis and reporting purposes. The system proved to be able to facilitate and accelerate the process of data analysis as well as to avoid any errors. Besides, the features of the systems are easy to access, flexible, user-friendly and systematic. However, some amendment should be made to improve the existing system in terms of matrix scale. The amendment should be helpful to identify the actual building condition in more details.
