Building Strength and Durability, and Building Utility System. These factors which
exist at present and are relevant to the above considerations were described, recorded,
analyzed and interpreted in this study in order to formulate a solution that will be most
fit to the problem. This was done with the use of various instruments such as library,
To complete the study the proponent conducted actual survey and interview to

The library is the depository of knowledge, facts, and data in print Medias, such
well as digital media. These are useful especially for Architectural studies, such as the
standards, latest trends in various designs, layouts, and technologies which are
fundamental in project studies, are made available and accessible through library
research.

COMPUTER RESEARCH
The researcher used the internet and computer technology as a tool for
conducting research. Information which cannot be seen in the old edition of the book
can be found here with the latest revision of data, standards and building technology.
The survey questionnaire were checked and validated by five (5) Professional
Experts in their chosen field before it was distributed to the respondents. Below are the

After the validation of the survey questionnaire, it was completed and reviewed
by the experts. The researcher improved, revised and finalized the survey questionnaire
questionnaire for its reliability using the split-half method. This method treats the two
halves of the measure as alternate forms. The halves reliability estimates using the
Spearman rho taking into consideration the ranked data gathered from the questionnaire,
which is then stepped up to the full test length using the Spearman-Brown prediction
formula.

A statistical tool is used to determine the items where the group ranked most and
which are not. In determining the number of frequency of the respondents and their
answer to Part I and Part II of the survey questionnaire, the percentage distribution

P = percentage
f = frequency
N = number of respondents
For Part III of the survey questionnaire, ratios and ranking will be used to verify
the comparative value of importance of the given variables usually indicated with the
following: rank 1, rank 2, rank 3, rank 4, rank 5 and is usually determined through
weighted means. This means and weight levelling is determined which suits according

proponent used the percentage distribution formula in this part of the survey
questionnaire. With this kind of data treatment the proponent have easily determined the
results by which the respondents have given. Data about their profile, frequency of male
versus female and even their professional status were treated with this statistical tool.
Ratios and ranking was applied on the third part of the survey questionnaire
