In Malaysia, the idea of a specific and systematic facility audit for effectiveness, efficiency and performance is in early stages (Musa, 2012). The awareness level from the society is very low. The costly repairs and maintenance may be done as a routine practices, but when the economy is booming only emergency maintenance and repair is attempted (Musa, 2012). (Zunguzane, Smallwood, & Emuze, 2012) added that, the damages and costly repair works are the causes from the improper building maintenance.

However, if the cost of “perfection” is so expensive that the company cannot be profitable, it is not realistic to spend too much on a zero defect mindset. Instead the company must first identify what an acceptable percentage of defects is and where the defect could have been prevented. Then the company can further quantify which cost of quality is presenting the greatest risk and put procedures and policies in place in an attempt to minimize defects. Since prevention costs many times are considered the least expensive and can have the biggest affect on non-conforming products most companies will focus its initial and largest efforts into prevention. The next initiative would be appraisal and last would be identifying
Cost minimisation however, cannot be pursued without attention to quality - there must be a balance between the two

Desktop Surveys – This survey takes place before the site has been visited and before construction has begun which is during the very early stages of planning. The survey involves a number of different things like the internet, books, maps, geological maps and council offices which all play a part within the survey. A good starting point is to consult a number of large scale maps of the proposed site to check the site boundaries, building lines, existing buildings and other man-made, or natural, features which will affect the future buildings. A comparison with older maps may give some clues to determine former use and potential hazards that may arise.
