OBJECTIVES
1. To know what is a Vertical Construction.
2. To know the different types of Vertical Constructions.
3. To diffentiate Horizontal Construction and Veritical Canstruction.
What is Construction Engineering?
- Construction engineering, also known as construction operations,is a professional
subdiscipline of civil engineering that deals with the designing, planning, construction,
and operations management of infrastructure such as roadways, tunnels, bridges, airports,
railroads, facilities, buildings, dams, utilities and other projects.
What is Vertical Construction?
- refers to any construction that is built vertically, such as skyscrapers or high rises in a
city. These projects are more often found in urban areas and gateway markets, rather than
suburban or rural areas.
FIVE TYPES OF VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION
BUILDINGS
Over the years, the
construction of vertical
buildings has increased
exponentially, especially as
Engineers and Architects look
to create more value despite
working with limited spaces.
TOWERS
Due to their tall (mostly) design and reduced
surface area, towers make great examples of
vertical construction. While towers are often put to
various uses, they are not usually meant for
habitation like buildings. Instead, the strategic
height of towers enables them to be used for
visibility.
BILLBOARDS
While not as large as buildings or towers,
billboards are also classified as vertical
construction. That is, for the structure to
remain sturdy, it must be constructed and
supported by steel. Billboards usually have
three primary components:
the steel ( for supporting the frame), the artwork that bears the advertisement, and electrical
equipment for special effects and lighting.
VERTICAL LIFT BRIDGES
Although a lift bridge is often classified as horizontal construction, the bridge’s upward
movement and the need to provide enough vertical support make it a type of vertical
construction. These bridges often use towers equipped with counterweights.
SITE
WORK/ TOWER CRANE
Another important but often overlooked type of vertical construction is site work/
tower crane. When constructing vertical projects, construction engineers must set
up tower cranes to lift the heavy loads from the bottom of the site to the top of the
building.

ACCOMPLISHED VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
PROJECT TITLE:
UMA RESIDENCES
PROJECT OWNER:
QUEENSTOWN REALTY AND DEVELOPMENT Inc.
DATE ACCOMPLISHED AND STARTED:
MAY 2019 – NOVEMBER 2022
PROJECT LOCATION:
MAGSAYSAY AVENUE NAGA CITY, BICOL.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The condo project is a 16-story development with six floors for condotel units,
nine floors for residential units, one level basement parking, and the ground floor for commercial
spaces and function halls. UMA Residences is the highest condo development in the Bicol
Region.
PROJECT PURPOSES:
The first 7 floors will be run as a hotel, while the 8th floor to 18th floor will be
offered as condominium residences.
The developer is offering 1Bedroom and 2 Bedroom units, both for its condole and condo
residences. Prices range from P5.7M for a 1 bedroom, up to P9 million for a 2-bedroom suite.
A first in Naga, the condotel concept offers the benefit of having your own “5-star hotel room”
with free 45 nights per year, while the rest of the year will be rented out to guests. It aims to
attract former Naguenos who have their primary residence elsewhere, as well as enterprising
OFW’s and local businessmen who wants dibs at the lucrative hotel business but does not want
the hassle of managing it.
With going rates at P163,000/sqm, UMA residences indeed are not for everybody. It will target a
select few who has the financial capacity and the taste for luxury.
