 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

From the case study it is obtained that the condominium buildings have minor design problems
like insufficient area allocation for rooms, kitchens, corridors etc. The stair case is also not
accessible for disable persons. Beside to this the quality of construction material, sanitary and
electrical fittings and improper installations.
To alleviate this problem special attention is taken in designing process. The proposed typology
is designed considering economy, safety and aesthetic values. Since we used common walls,
common stairs, agro stone partition wall, energy saving lamps such as fluorescent and compacted
lamps the designs are economical and cost efficient.
From this project the lesson we learnt are the following: it improves the knowledge and skill of
structural design, architectural design, electrical installation, sanitary design and computation of
bill of quantity. It helps us to acquire knowledge through discussion, referring different books,
consulting our advisors, familiarizing with EBCS (Ethiopian Building Code Standards). In
addition to this familiarize with different software’s such as Arch cad, AutoCAD, SAP and
ETABs.
The project covers the majority of the courses which are in the curriculum. It helps us to revise
the previous courses and to aqua ire fundamental knowledge. So, the project should continue as
it is.
