recommendations.

5.1 Summary

The modernization of the Junior High School building of St. Peter’s College in

Sabayle Street, Iligan City, represents a groundbreaking initiative aimed at setting a new

benchmark for contemporary school building in school premises. Our project integrates smart

technology, eco-friendly materials, and modern architectural designs to create functional and

aesthetically pleasing classroom spaces. By incorporating open floor plans and minimalist

design principles, we aim to reflect current trends in modern school buildings. The strategic

location in St. Peter’s College premises, with its spacious classrooms and safety

infrastructure, is set to enhance the overall quality of life for our future students.

Ensuring compliance with legal and regulatory frameworks is a critical component of

our project. Adherence to Republic Act No. 6541, the National Building Code of the

Philippines, ensures that our construction, maintenance, and occupancy standards meet the

required safety and welfare criteria. This comprehensive set of guidelines covers crucial

aspects such as structural design, fire safety, electrical systems, and accessibility, which are

essential for mitigating risks and safeguarding occupants, as emphasized by Hwang (2019).

Following these regulations ensures that our school building is built to the highest safety

standards.

In addition to the National Building Code, our project must comply with Republic Act

No. 9266, known as the Architecture Act of 2004. This law regulates the practice of

architecture in the Philippines, ensuring that only licensed professionals undertake

architectural planning and design. By adhering to this act, we guarantee that all architectural

work meets the highest professional and ethical standards, resulting in a well-designed and
24
structurally sound school building.

Environmental sustainability is a cornerstone of our project, aligning with Republic

Act No. 9729, the Climate Change Act of 2009. This act mandates the integration of climate

change measures into government policies and development plans. By incorporating energy-

efficient designs, sustainable materials, and effective waste management practices, we

support national efforts to mitigate the impacts of climate change. This approach not only

reduces the environmental footprint of our construction but also makes our building more

appealing to eco-conscious parents and student.

Furthermore, compliance with Republic Act No. 9003, the Ecological Solid Waste

Management Act of 2000, is essential. This law provides a systematic framework for the

comprehensive management of solid waste. By implementing proper waste segregation,

recycling, and disposal practices during construction, we ensure that our project adheres to

environmental regulations and promotes sustainable construction practices. These efforts

significantly contribute to the overall environmental sustainability of our project.

Our project’s financial feasibility is underpinned by a detailed cost analysis, with a

budget of ₱31,034,426.30. This budget covers land acquisition, construction materials, labor,

and permits. Labor costs, estimated at 40% of material costs, are significant and necessary to

ensure high-quality construction. Our financial planning, combined with sensitivity analysis,

helps us manage potential cost fluctuations and financial risks. By following Republic Act

No. 9184, the Government Procurement Reform Act, we ensure transparent and efficient

procurement processes, further supporting the financial viability of our project.

Community engagement and stakeholder management are critical to our project's

success. Republic Act No. 7160, the Local Government Code of 1991, emphasizes the

importance of involving local government in development projects. Engaging with local

communities, stakeholders, and regulatory authorities allows us to address concerns, obtain

25
necessary approvals, and ensure compliance with local regulations. Effective communication

and negotiation with these parties are essential for smooth project implementation and

fostering a sense of community ownership.

In addition, our school building project in St. Peter’s College premises is a

comprehensive and meticulously planned endeavor that integrates modern design, stringent

regulatory compliance detailed financial planning, and sustainable practices. By adhering to

relevant Philippine laws and regulations, we ensure the safety and welfare of our future

residents while contributing to environmental sustainability and community development.

Our collective efforts ensure the creation of a modern, convenient, and environmentally

conscious classroom space that meets the evolving needs of high school student in St. Peter’s

College.
