Research instruments are tools or methods used to collect, measure, and analyze data in a study. For a
study titled "Assessment of Public Building Defects Due to Maintenance Practices," the research
instruments should align with the objectives of the study and focus on identifying defects, their causes,
and the relationship with maintenance practices.

Suggested Research Instruments:

Structured Questionnaire

Target audience: Building users, maintenance staff, and facility managers.

Types of questions:

Closed-ended: To gather specific data (e.g., frequency of defects, type of maintenance conducted).

Open-ended: To collect opinions and insights (e.g., perceptions about maintenance quality).

Sample questions:

What types of defects are most common in the building?

How often is preventive maintenance carried out?

Are you satisfied with the current maintenance practices?

Interview Guide

Target audience: Facility managers, engineers, and contractors.

Focus areas:
Maintenance schedules and procedures.

Challenges in implementing maintenance practices.

Decision-making processes regarding repairs and budgeting.

Example questions:

How are maintenance tasks prioritized?

What are the main challenges in maintaining the building?

Observation Checklist

Purpose: To document observable defects in public buildings.

Checklist items may include:

Cracks in walls, ceilings, or floors.

Roof leaks or damaged roofs.

Faulty electrical systems.

Plumbing issues (e.g., leaking pipes).

Maintenance quality (e.g., cleanliness, repairs).

Method: Use a standardized checklist during site visits to ensure consistency.

Defect Tracking Form

Purpose: To systematically record identified defects.

Key data fields:

Defect type (e.g., structural, mechanical, aesthetic).

Severity level (minor, moderate, severe).

Location in the building.

Date of occurrence.

Maintenance action taken (if any).


Secondary Data Analysis

Use existing records, such as:

Maintenance logs and reports.

Building inspection reports.

Budget allocation for maintenance.

Photographic Documentation

Purpose: To visually capture defects and their conditions for analysis.

Tools: Digital camera or smartphone with GPS tagging for location accuracy.

Usage: Photos should be annotated with the defect type, location, and other relevant details.

Building Performance Surveys (BPS)

Purpose: To evaluate user satisfaction and building performance.

Focus areas: Comfort, safety, functionality, and aesthetic quality.

Techniques: Likert-scale ratings for user experiences and perceptions.

Key Considerations:

Ensure instruments are valid (measure what they are intended to measure) and reliable (produce
consistent results).

Pilot test instruments to refine them before full deployment.

Ensure ethical considerations, such as informed consent and confidentiality.
