With this knowledge sharing, residents will be more concerned about the signs of building damage and take the necessary steps to prevent further damage from happening.

Building investigations that are shared with locals are to periodically monitor the components of the building structure and provide checklist documents to record any defects in the building. Industry Fellows, Ir. Ts. Mohamad Hairi Osman said they are also willing to share the knowledge and experience related to buildings with various levels of society and government agencies if needed in the interests of their safety, health, and comfort. Masjid Jamek An-Nur Kg. Jawa, Haji Abdul Rahman Haji Pawiroh said that the efforts made by the UTHM are very good as the Pagoh branch campus is located near to Kampung Jawa.
