Those buildings are owned by various government departments. Problems in government buildings are often referred to JKR regardless of whether JKR was involved in the planning, design, award of tenders or supervision of these buildings in the first place.

The project has been carried out with the aim to determine frequency and severity of the causes that help government to take immediate or preventive actions. Questionnaire was distributed to selected stakeholders from JKR Putrajaya, JKR Forensic and contractors. Analysis on frequency of occurrence and severity effect was performed and the result shows the causes ‘inadequate and inaccurate data and information available (as-built drawing, use of the building layout plan and renovation by client)’ is the main cause of government building defects and failures. Further analysis on severity effect and cross tabulation shows that most of the respondents from JKR Putrajaya, JKR Forensic and contractors have the same perception on the causes of government building defects and failures. 2016-01 Thesis http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/77835/ http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/77835/1/AnwarIbrahimTholpakarMFKA2015.pdf application/pdf en public http://dms.library.utm.my:8080/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:94199 masters Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Faculty of Civil Engineering Faculty of Civil Engineering
