Significance of The Study NBCP
Significance of The Study NBCP
Republic act number 6541 or the National Building Code of the Philippines is important for
Architects, like my professors said its a bible for architects. It contains rules, the maximum
and minimum requirements, and the other info needed designing, planning or
conceptualizing a project. Made for public safety, the national building code must be studied
to avoid a project being ruined due to misread rule about a project.
Required materials to be used for a specific structure, Fire-resistive requirements and
standards for fire protection are stated in the NBC failure to comply with these requirements
leads to cancellation of the project.
Classification or groups to classify a structure according to its use are also showed; its
grouped for specific requirements for each group. For example: In group B residential:
Hotels and Apartments. - Group B Occupancies shall include boarding or lodging houses,
hotels, apartment houses, convents, and monasteries (each accommodating more than 10
persons). Maximum heights are listed for public safety purposes. Types of construction are
needed because youll give or present it to a government official to let your construction
begin, the government is required to visit or inspect your project to see if you followed the
type you have submitted, failure to comply to this leads to cancellation or postponement of
the project until the documents are fixed and approved.
