Building inspection can be before, during or after construction had been done. Building inspection is important in achieving a sustainable development and it is also a requirement to obtain a Certificate of Completion and Compliance (CCC). Building inspection is compulsory and all requirements are stated in the Uniform Building By Laws (URBE) 1973 under the provisions of Streets Drainage and Building Act 1974 (Act 133).

This study is only conducted in the view of BOMBA and DBKL as this is the main pillars in building inspection. The main concern of this study will cover the building inspection stage before obtaining the CCC and the area of research is only ¡n Kuala Lumpur.
