Mitigating The Shortage of Public-School Building Through the Application of Pre-Engineered Building System

Abstract

Shortage of public-school classrooms is one of the challenges that our country is dealing nowadays, however there is still hope to minimize this problem, behind the limited budget, and it is through the application of Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) System. This capstone project takes pride, in introducing PEB system as an economical substitute to the conventional type buildings. To prove the competitive advantage of PEB system; structural integrity, material and labor costs, and construction speed are the parameters considered. Structural integrity was determined through the design and analysis of the structure using software. Material and labor costs were calculated by carrying out the detailed estimate. Through a thorough activity scheduling, and also based on the existing PEB, it was found out that, construction of PEB are really can be built in a shorter amount of time.
