Proposed design of a three-storey legislative building in Tibiao, Antique

Abstract

The Sangguniang Bayan (SB) serves as the local legislative branch in municipalities, tasked with passing ordinances and resolutions. The legislative building provides space for SB members to perform their duties effectively. However, in Tibiao, Antique, issues such as the lack of personal workspace for SB members, the absence of a designated public area in the session hall, and disruptions in the Vice Mayor’s transactions and session hall meetings negatively affect the public service of the members. To address these problems, a three-storey legislative building is proposed for construction in Brgy. Poblacion, Tibiao, Antique. The design incorporates modem green building technologies, such as solar panels, to promote sustainability. This project study includes comprehensive plans, such as architectural designs, structural details, electrical and plumbing systems, and fire evacuation schemes, all in accordance with various codes. Technical specifications, cost estimates, and project schedules are also included. The materials to be used for construction are concrete and steel, with all concrete members designed using the Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) method, AutoCAD, and the National Structural Code of the Philippines (NSCP) 2015. The proposed project will span a total floor area of 432 square meters, with an estimated project cost of P 20,035,643.67 and a planned duration of 249 days. Funding will be sourced from the National Government, and the project will be implemented by the Local Government of Tibiao. This initiative aims to significantly improve the legislative process, public engagement, and administrative efficiency in Tibiao.
