I. Statement of the Problem:

An established entrepreneur in the transport

industry wants to expand his business into
something related to trucking, so he can fully
maximize his existing capital equipment’s such as
fleet of trucks. He believes that putting up gasoline
service station in every truck hub that are spread all
over his route from Luzon to Leyte will do well. He
commissioned RLA to design and manage the
construction of his first all in one integrated truck
hub to be located in Batangas. He called the project
the QT Truck Hub.

Max use of the lot allowing a faster ROI for couple.

The design and space layout should allow easy
conversion of the spaces to big or small spaces. The
aura and outlook of the building should be friendly
and welcoming; light and not heavy. The design
solution should clearly define the proper use of
spaces. The project should be properly zoned into 3
