    Abstract
    This paper explores the pilot testing stage survey on the building defects problem focusing on the leakage defects. Nine research questionnaire categories have been developed, and three of them have been analyzed using SPSS?24 for this script. The design research approach uses Qualitative Research Methodology (Qualitative RM) and the finding is based on the descriptive statistical analysis patterns, Building Leakage Defects (BLD) remain a big problem to the construction scenario in this part of the world and may also happen to the other part of the globe and need serious attention to sort them out systematically. The pilot survey uses the existing and latest information survey data from the interview and communication processes from active construction players on real projects located in the most developed part of the region. The findings are considered worth the knowledge value as it can be used as a guide in developing a better guideline framework, especially to curb-down BLD and help to formulate quality building types.
