Negeri Sembilan Malay house is a traditional Malay home that is virtually old and forgotten by coming generations, and it has progressively gone from Malaysia's environment of traditional peoples. The major cause of this is a lack of examination, and the injured region cannot be healed for a variety of reasons. Malay traditional homes have been endangered by Malaysian assaults, and many of them have been destroyed or rebuilt, resulting in a loss of identity. This research was carried out using guided techniques and theories that were established in order to discover the components of categorization that may be classified into two major categories: apparent and latent . A survey of the house's state will be done, followed by an analysis to determine the patterns of faults that occur in every case study. According to the conclusions of the review of literature, the two most prevalent forms of faults are insect infestation and fungal development. To effectively care for or protect this valuable architecture, all parties must contribute or play their part. On eleven case studies, data was collected using an interview and observation technique. The data was subsequently analyzed, and a pattern of wood flaws, i.e. insect infestation, was discovered. The characteristics of timber defects in traditional Malay homes are primarily seen in walls and timbers that are exposed to the surrounding environment and weather. Several preservation measures have been offered to prevent pattern flaws that arise in traditional Malay house Designs nine and how to repair the problem when it happens.
