1.0 BUILDING CONTROL

BSS505BUILDING PATHOLOGY AND CONTROL I

1.1 What is Building Control?

AP2293A

Based on Wikipedia and references from internet and journals, building control is the rules that specify the minimum acceptable level of safety for constructed objects such as buildings and non -building structures. The used of the building control are to protect the public health, safety and general welfare which related to the construction and occupancy of buildings and structures. When we construct a buildings, extensions or alterations are being considered, most people automatically assume that Planning Permission will be required and whilst this is often true, there is usually much confusion in the public's mind between Planning and Building Control. Whether or not Planning Permission is required, the work will, in most cases, have to satisfy national Building Regulations and it is this function that is termed 'Building Control'. Whilst Planning relates to 'use zoning' and aesthetic design, Building Control is mainly concerned with the administration of the Building Regulations which control such matters as structural stability, means of escape in case of fire, structural fire precautions, resistance to moisture, sound and thermal insulation, stairways, drainage and access for disabled persons, among other things. This form of control ensures that buildings will be safe and will not pose a health risk to the occupants. It also ensures that buildings will be thermally efficient and accessible to disabled persons. Control is exercised principally in two ways, i.e by the submission of plans to the Local Authority and by the inspection of work on site, although an increasing number of projects are now dealt with under a simplified procedure called a Building Notice whereby control is wholly exercised on site. In addition to dealing with Building Regulations, most Building Control sections also undertake a range of other duties, e.g control of dangerous structures and demolition, safety of sports grounds, street naming and numbering etc, although these functions may vary from Authority to Authority. 1.2 The objectives doing the Building Control

LOCAL AUTHORITY

BSS505BUILDING PATHOLOGY AND CONTROL I

2.1 Introduction to Local Authority

AP2293A

The local government or local authority (Malay: kerajaan tempatan or pihak berkuasa tempatan (PBT)) is the lowest level in the system of government in Malaysiaafter federal and state. It has the power to collect taxes (in the form of assessment tax), to create laws and rules (in the form of by-laws) and to grant licenses and permits for any trade in its area of jurisdiction, in addition to providing basic amenities, collecting and managing waste and garbage as well as planning and developing the area under its jurisdiction. Local governments are generally under the exclusive purview of the state governments as provided in the Constitution of Malaysia, except for local governments in the federal territories. The federalMinistry of Housing and Local Government plays a role in coordinating and standardizing the practices of local governments across the country. Local governments are usually referred to as councils (majlis), headed by a civil servant with the title President (Yang Di-Pertua) for rural districts and municipalities, and Mayor (Datuk Bandar) for cities, though there are a few exceptions in the form of "special and modified local authorities". Councillors are appointed by the state governments. Local government areas are distinct from the districts, which are mainly for land administration purposes. In rural areas, the jurisdiction area of local governments largely correspond to the district boundaries. However, in urbanized areas, local government areas may not be consistent with the district boundaries and may overlap with adjoining districts, as municipal or city boundaries usually do not conform to district boundaries.

2.3.1 Shah Alam City Council 2.3.1.1 Background

AP2293A

Before 1963, Shah Alam was known as Sungai Renggam and was a palm oil plantation which was situated between Petaling Jaya and Bandar Diraja Klang while being connected through the only highway at that time, the Federal Highway. Malaysia grew rapidly after its independence in 1957 under the Father of Modernization', the second Prime Minister of Malaysia, Allahyarham Tun Abdul Razak Hussein. Shah Alam was opened in 1963 with the purpose of making it the administrative center of Selangor once Kuala Lumpur was made a Federal District on February 1st, 1974. With the consent of 8th DYMM Sultan of Selangor, Almarhum Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah AlHaj on December 7th, 1978, Shah Alam was proclaimed the capital of Selangor with an area of 41.68 square km. Shah Alam had encountered several processes of extending its areas and the last was on January 1st 1997. Through the Gazette Plan 1190, Shah Alam was extended to 293 square km. The rapid growth of Shah Alam and its evident importance had upgraded its status to be declared a city on October 10th 2000. This declaration was officiated by YAB Dato'Seri Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo, 13th Chief Minister of Selangor. Shah Alam, which had been administered by the Shah Alam Municipal Council Authoritative Party since 1978, was automatically given the status of Shah Alam City Council. With a population density of 450,000, Shah Alam targets an additional growth of population to 700,000 by 2010 as a result from a nationwide migration of populace aside from the increasing number of births.

The Chinese settlement pattern is scattered around Kajang town. While rubber plantation areas are inhabited by settlers of Indian descents. If viewed from its topographical perspective, Kajang sub-District is located on a highland area which is approximately 76,250 cm from the sea level. Most of its landscape is hilly filled with mountains. Its flatlands can be found at river-basins such as Sungai Langat, Sungai Bangi, Sungai Semenyih and Sungai Chua. These areas are the early settlements explored in the Sub-district of Kajang. The traditional Malay communities were known to open up settlements at river valleys or river basins especially in the valleys of Sungai Bernam, Sungai Selangor, Sungai Klang, Sungai Langat and Sungai Lukut. The definition of Selangor actually refers to the five river basins of these rivers. At the time the river was regarded as the connecting route for settlements. These river valleys were very fertile for farming and suitable for the farmers who were dependant on the land. They also carried out fishing activities. The existence of Kajang also predicates upon these factors. There are a number of oral stories regarding the early explorations of Kajang Town and its surrounding areas. According to the elders, before the coming of outside settlers, Kajang and its surrounding areas were once the residence of the Orang Asli community from the Temuan sub-tribe. According to a local historian En. Shahabudin Ahmad, Kajang was explored in 1709 by the Orang Asli who were based in Klang. During that time, Klang was ruled by Orang Asli with their leader called Batin Seri Alam. This leader administered in Klang as at the time the forests were the administration
