A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The project is a seven-story commercial and residential building with a roof deck
and basement. The ground floor will serve as a parking area for the occupants and
customers of the establishments situated inside. The second to fourth floor is intended for
commercial purposes and preferably, restaurants, boutiques, convenience and drug stores.
The fifth to seventh floor is intended for residential purposes. It has 10 rooms with its
own toilet and bathroom in each floor. The roof deck will be open for anyone who wants
some alone time and it has a water tank for rainwater harvesting. The basement is mainly
for storing of electrical and mechanical equipment. It is accessible by either elevator or
stairway.

It is situated at the corner lot of Burgos St. Lapaz, Iloilo City which is near the
towns churches, restaurants, parks and schools. It would be convenient for the occupants
since some if not all of their necessities can be found in the building and within the
vicinity. The building is also near the main highway which makes it accessible to anyone
by any form of transportation.

Masonry Works

Concrete hollow blocks shall be non-load bearing block and should

conform to fire resistive ratings. All units shall be restored for a period of not less
than that time unless the strength exceeds those mentioned in these specifications.

Carpentry and Joinery Works

Lumber shall be the approved quality of the respective kinds of various

parts of the work, well-seasoned, thoroughly dry and free from large, loose or
unsound knots, shakes and other imperfections shall be coated with creosote or
equivalent.

Painting Works

Painting covers complete painting and finishing of wood, plasters,

concrete, metal or other surfaces, exterior or interior of the building. All paint
materials shall meet the requirements of paint materials under classification class
A All colors shall be in accordance with samples to be approved by the Owner
of the building with the advice of the architect in charge of construction.

Electrical Works

All electrical installations shall be done in the provisions of the latest

Philippine Code, rules and regulations of the municipality or city and the
requirements of the local power company. All equipment shall be adequately and
effectively grounded junction. Whenever required and necessary, properly
dimensioned pull and junction boxes shall be installed at convenient locations.
Although not specified nor indicated in the drawings. All electrical wirings shall
be installed in moldex flexible conduits or PVC if run is embedded in concrete or
CHB. All wirings that run between roof and ceiling shall be installed in flexible
conduits and properly supported with knobs and reinsulated mica tubes.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
DESIGN

It is undeniable that construction activities affect the environment negatively so it

must be put into consideration during planning and construction stage. It can greatly harm
the environment in the near future if neglected. Aside from environmental matters, we
must not forget the legal aspect of the project. A construction permit must be secured as a
requirement in every construction since the project can be halted once misunderstanding
arises between parties involved. As for the structural aspect, the left and rear side of the
building is situated at the property line which restricts in the designing of the foundation.
