CE 2202 Project 1

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Use the complete set of plans of the 2-storey building required per group at the start of the semester.
2. Study and note specifications on the National Building Code, Fire Code, and the Accessibility Law (BP
344), comparing their differences. Make a table of these specifications.
3. Compare the specifications from your plan with those you can find from the code. You can do this per
specification. Include photos of the part of the plan where the dimensions are indicated. Example. Doors
DOORS PLAN NBCP RA 9514 BP 344
DIMENSIONS
MINIMUM HEIGHT 2.0m 2.0m 2.0m
MINIMUM WIDTH 900mm 710m 800mm

Identify which dimension/specification is to be followed for space-saving requirements? Will the

specification from your plan pass based in this criteria?
