INTRODUCTION

Last January 16, 2014, Architecture Engineering Technology shop was

inspected. Results of inspection are assessed based on the building
requirements stated in the National Building Code of the Philippines to determine
the shops present condition as to its space, ventilation, illumination, wirings,
safety, maintenance and facilities.

Primary findings of the inspections show the space in the shop room are
290cmx900cmx907cm. Its ventilation is very weak because through the five large
windows in the shop room have broken glass and the shop has only one electric
fan. Illumination in the shop room is provided by six fluorescent lamps. There are
two open wires, but all are working. It has no enough medicine supplies for
emergency cases that may happen during shop hours. The shop is maintained
but its facilities crowd the shop room.

All area seemed to be in a very good state except for the safety, because the
shop has no fire extinguisher, and for maintenance because they have no first
aid kit in case of emergency.






CONCLUSIONS

The whole inspection is aimed to determine whether the shop conforms to the
building requirements, the shop inspections result turned out positively except for
the safety, because of some insufficient things that required in that area based
on the national building requirements, and for the maintenance because the shop
has no fire extinguisher in case of some emergency. As well as in the area of
ventilation there are lots of needs regarding in that area because they only one
electric fan to supply the needs of the students and its not enough to supply the
air needs of the student and based on the NBCP all building erected shall face a
street or public alley or private street which has been officially approved. The
shop did not properly follow the standard building requirement provided by the
civil code of the Philippines.









ABSTRACT

This technical writing report are all about the present condition of the shop we
inspected and we used in our school (TUP-C *Technological University of the
Philippines-Cavite Campus) and the requirements as stated in the National
Building Code of the Philippines (NBCP), and for a requirements we need to
submit in our subject in English 3.

In this report, we inspected all the area that we can see in the shop room
condition as to its; space, ventilation, illumination, wirings, safety, maintenance,
and facilities, and to see its present condition and if they are following the
requirements stated in the NBCP.

The shop room that is assigned for me to inspect is the drawing room or the
Architecture Technology Shop (ART). And based on my inspections/observations
during the activity we are doing all areas seemed to be well-maintained and all
are in good conditions. But there are many things that the shop needs to
improved even they are seemed to be in good state room like they need the
following: more electric fans, chairs, drawing tables, fluorescent lamps, first aid
kit, open window to supply the light and air they needed and also a lot of space.
Also they need to cover up the exposed and hang wires so that it will not cause
accidents that may happen during the shop hours.

RECOMMENDATION

There are plenty of needs that the shop must require to have. For the area of
ventilation it is recommended to fix the 3 broken glasses on the large 5 windows
that are broken. For illumination, it put 3 more fluorescent lamps in the shop
room to supply the light the students need when they are taking classes during in
the evening. For safety, put first aid kit and a fire extinguisher in case of
emergency. And for the facilities, I recommended that it was more applicable if
the drawing table is placed 5 cm away from each other.
