For the schedule of construction activities, the Program Evaluation and Review Technique and Critical Path Method (PERT-CPM) were used. Green building technologies are integrated in the design of the proposed project namely: Natural lighting, sound-attenuating laminated panes, green walls, and metal and polycarbonate roof. The estimated project cost was PHP PHP 18,044,902.68, with a 198-day estimated project duration.
