house in Davao City located within subdivision of low density. With this particular project,
they have envisioned to cater markets of working couples that in junior executive positions.
You have recently passed the board examination for and the couple was impressed
by your performance being one of the topnotchers. The design brief is to design and at the
same time manage the construction of the said project.
II. Design Requirements:
1. Each unit must contain a pave 2-carport with dimension 3.0 m x5.0 m per car at
front yard and a 2.0 m x 3.0m covered porch. Every unit of the duplex will have a
uniform floor area.
2. Each of the ground floors must contain foyer, stairs, T&B, and maid's room all of
which are abutting the common wall. The entrance foyer measure 2m depth x3m
width. Use 100mm thick concrete slab on grade for ground floors.
3. The kitchen should be located across the maid's room while living room and dining
room are located opposite the common wall.
4. Second floor contains stairwell/stairs, master's bedroom with 1 walk-in-closet. T&B
and balcony and bedroom 1 with walk-in-closet and T&B. The second floor will utilize
the maximum allowable gross floor area and is of 100mm thick concrete slab.
5. Entrance steps or paved walkway is provided the width is the same as the porch.
III. The Site:
The project site is a parcel of land bounded on the SE along line 1-2 by lot 2; on the
NW along 2-3 by RROW, on the NW along line 3-4 by lot 3; on the NE along 4-1 by lot 4. The
lot technical description is of: S 76° 33 N,15.0m to point 2; N 13° 27' W,16.0m to point 3; N
76° 33' W, 15.0m to point 4:S 13° 27' E,16.0m to point 1. The lot is sloping upward NW 2-3
1/16.
IV. Design Objectives:
The Office of the Building Official (OBO) has approved more than 60% paved front
yard. Each unit of duplex house should optimize the use of the lot. It should also have 2
carports and should not be sacrifice because the prospective clients are working couples with
their own cars. Take note that the subdivision developer has loosen up on the use of the yard
giving away to the needs of the time.

The project site is a parcel of land bounded on the SE along line 1-2 by lot 2; on the NW along 2-3 by
RROW, on the NW along line 3-4 by lot 3; on the NE along 4-1 by lot 4. The lot technical description is of:
S 76° 33 N,15.0m to point 2; N 13° 27' W,16.0m to point 3; N 76° 33' W, 15.0m to point 4:S 13° 27' E,16.0m
to point 1. The lot is sloping upward NW 2-3 1/16.

2. Compute for the perimeter length of the lot.


a. 62 m
b. 60 m
c. 46 m
d. 58 m

Perimeter of the lot = 15 m + 15 m + 16 m + 16 m


Perimeter of the lot = 62 m

3. What is the area of the fence if the height of the fence is 3.10 m above the NGL?
a. 192.2 sqm
b. 192 sqm
c. 142.6 sqm
d. 179.8 sqm

Area of fence = Length of fence * 3.10 m


Area of fence = (15 m + 15 m + 16 m) * 3.10 m
Area of fence = 46 m * 3.10 m
Area of fence = 142.6 sqm

4. What is the AMBF of the 2 units?


a. 150.5 sqm
b. 129 sqm
c. 118.25 sqm
d. 110 sqm

PSO table = TLA * 55% w/o firewall


PSO table = 215 sqm * 55%
PSO table = 118.25 sqm

Setback = Doesn’t apply to this lot

TOSL table = 40% open space


TOSL table = TLA * 60%
TOSL table = 215 sqm * 60%
TOSL table = 129 sqm

5. What is the lot area of unit 1?


a. 107.5 sqm
b. 110 sqm
c. 112 sqm
d. 111.5 sqm

Unit 1 lot area = TLA / 2


Unit 1 lot area = 215 sqm / 2
Unit 1 lot area = 107.5 sqm

6. What is the front setback?


a. 4.5 m
b. 2.0 m
c. 8.0 m
d. 3.0 m

7. Where is the highest side of the lot?


a. 1-2
b. 2-3
c. 3-4
d. 4-1

The lot is sloping upward NW 2-3 1/16.

8. What is the difference in slope in the highest point and lowest point?
a. 1.00 m
b. 0.94 m
c. 0.87 m
d. 0.90 m

The lot is sloping upward NW 2-3 1/16.

Slope = Rise / Run


Slope = 1 / 16

Using ratio and proportion..


𝑥 1
=
15 𝑚 16
X = 15 m / 16
X = 0.9375 m

9. What is the total lot area of the site?


a. 215 sqm
b. 220 sqm
c. 224 sqm
d. 223 sqm

Computing for the TLA..

Find a.
Using SOHCAHTOA…
Cos (θ) = adjacent / hypotenuse
Cos (27) = a / 7.50 m
a = 6.68 m
Find b.
Using SOHCAHTOA…
Sin (θ) = opposite / hypotenuse
Sin (27) = b / 7.50 m
b = 3.40 m

Find c.
c = 16 m – 3.40 m
c = 12.60 m

Finding the area of the triangle…


A = ½ bh
A = ½ * 3.40 m * 6.68 m
A = 11.36 sqm

Finding the area of the rectangle…


A = lw
A = 12.60 m * 6.68 m
A = 84.17 sqm

TLA = (Rectangle + Triangle*2) * 2


TLA = (84.17 sqm + 11.36 sqm *2) * 2
TLA = 213.78 sqm

10. How much is the ISA of the project?


a. 64.5 sqm
b. 70 sqm
c. 87 sqm
d. 60 sqm

PSO table = 30% ISA


ISA = 30% * 215 sqm
ISA = 64.5 sqm

11. How much is the USA of the project?


a. 32.25 sqm
b. 35 sqm
c. 43.5 sqm
d. 30 sqm

PSO table = 15% USA


ISA = 15% * 215 sqm
ISA = 32.25 sqm
12. How many septic tanks should be provided for the project?
a. 1 per unit
b. 2 per unit
c. 1 unit
d. NOTA
13. How many bags of cement will be used for the carport of 2 units if the carport slab thickness is 4
inches and using class A concrete mixture?
a. 55
b. 54
c. 56
d. 53

Area of 4 carport = (3 m * 5 m) * 4
Area of 4 carport = 60 sqm

Volume of carport = 60 sqm * 0.10 m


Volume of carport = 6 cum

# of cement bags = 6 cum * 9


# of cement bags = 54 bags

14. If you want to level the site, how many truckloads of backfill material will you use?
a. 19
b. 10
c. 16
d. 8

Difference between highest and lowest point of the lot = 0.94 m

Volume = ((0.94 m * 15 m)/ 2) * 16 m


Volume = 112.8 cum

# of truckload of backfill material = 112.8 cum / 12 cum/truck


# of truckload of backfill material = 9.4 trucks

15. What is the maximum allowable length of firewall for the project?
a. 80% of the total length of a side property line
b. 70% of the total length of a side property line
