1 meter offset from the propery line for a firewall is very incorrect. Firewalls shall be
located along the property line. I recommend to continue the design of firewall and
Rear or Back Side
not to introduce window or door openings (I heard the plan of putting windows or
opening doors for balconies).
The remaining open area is only 0.2 meters measured from the end of the hallway
which is very far from the 3 meters front yard requirement. This happened of the
following reasons (1) 1 meter offset in the rear side and (2) the foreman
misread/misinterpret the plan for hallway, the width of hallway as indicated in the
Front Side plan is 1.2 meters however, onsite measurement as verified by my team is 1.8
meters. I highly recommend to demolish portion of the hallway or if by any chance
we can negotiate the adjacent lot owner for possible legal matters pertaining the
use of his/her lot. Issue on setback requirement is one ground for disapproval of
occupancy permit.
 Stuctural Integrity is defined by providing the safest design and is ECONOMICAL. It
is not generally means that big column or beam with many steel reinforcement is
safe. A good design is safe when it is economical. This issue I would like to
emphasize because many of the building members were improperly installed based
on the structural plans. The foreman didnt follow what I have indicated on the plans
and I meant to say he is not capable of plan reading. Over reinfoced for shorter
span and under reinforced in critical areas. Reinforcement including sections for
beams were done uniformly (useless plans and frame huhu), proper location of steel
bars are incorrect, use of 16mm bar as web or side face bar is very inappropriate,
stirrups for supporting lateral loads including earthquakes are not properly spaced
Foundation, Columns and (please put attention on this area think of your investment deffects will occur if not
2. Structural Integrity
Beams correlated when quakes or shaking strikes), small sized beam as support for hallway
were enlarged this will add weight and possible deflection of cantilever beam. All
these are very technical and we cant just depend on the experiences of the foreman.
I recommend to seek for professional supervision of your building. This doesnt
mean to hire me but please hire competent engineer to oversee the works. If I didnt
conducted occular inspection these issues will never be noticed and you will be
facing more than problems. I had instructed the working people to correlate my 2
hours identified concerns and demanded to put on hold the plan of pouring
concrete on beams. This is very wrong!, concrete beams are not efficient when
poured in partial. Your building as of the date of inspection is at risk and
compromised.
