The public complains about the quality, safety and healthy of buildings throughout the time. However, the issue is always neglected, especially towards the existing buildings. In fact, building inspection should be performed regularly to assess the condition and performance of building. This task is done by Building Surveyors. Therefore, it is crucial to recognize the role of Building Surveyors in ensuring the quality, safety and healthy of buildings. After several incidents happened in the buildings (e.g. fire events in the religious school Darul Quran Ittifaqiyah and KWSP building) recently, it is the time to draw attention about the necessity of implementing regular building inspection, recognizing Building Surveyors and establishing the Building Surveyor Act.
