Proposed two-storey Local Government Unit (LGU) training center in Igbaras, Iloilo

Abstract

Training centers are essential resources that support a municipality's economic growth by transforming unskilled laborers into trained workers and assembling a reliable workforce. The lack of a designated training center in Igbaras limits the LGU to hold these events in substitute venues that cannot accommodate neither a wide variety of trainings nor a great number of participants, leading to locals seeking training in neighboring municipalities. These are the lapses identified that led to this study. Therefore, a two-story local government unit training center is proposed to be constructed in Poblacion, Igbaras, Iloilo. The proposal includes the architectural, electrical, plumbing and structural design for the facility with the provisions of the National Structural Code of the Philippines (NSCP 2015), National Building Code of the Philippines, Electrical Code of the Philippines, and National Plumbing Code of the Philippines being utilized for the various plans of the project. Specifications, cost estimates and project scheduling are also included in the proposal. Furthermore, green building elements such as solar panels, natural lighting, and LED light fixtures are integrated in the design. The proposed structure covers a floor area of 288 sq. meters per level and is expected to be complete in 252 days with an estimated cost of Php 20,902,586.36. The project will be fully funded by the Local Government Unit of Igbaras. Upon completion, it is recommended to install safety and security measures such as Fire and Detection Alarm System (FDAS) and Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras.
