IMPORTANT NOTE: For this examination in this subject, the Examinee shall be allowed to
make full use open books) ONLY of Printed Rule VII and Rule VIII of the 2004 Revised
Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of the Presidential Decree (P.D.) No. 1096,
otherwise known as the 1977 National Building Code of the Philippines (NBCP). The printed
copy shall be subject to inspection during the examination. This will be confiscated in the event
that any markings are found thereon.
According to village rules and LGU ordinance, slope-up lot with lines abutting a road (RROW:
7.0 meters) shall be provided with retaining wall at the beginning of house footprint facing the
same road. The existing site has a natural grade from the sidewalk line that slopes up to the back
at 8% as per ocular inspection using POINT “2” as reference, and with POINT “2” marked at
elevation +60.21m, POINT “4” at +60.80m, and POINT “6” at +63.95m. A firewall shall be
built on one side along the property line POINT “1” to POINT ”2”.
By client’s concurrence, the architect decided that 4 vehicles shall be allotted for parking
adjacent with the firewall, and with width of 6.0 meters solely for vehicle entry. Thus a
rectangle footprint was likewise decided, with a depth of 23.50 meters. The retaining wall at the
house footprint was also determined to have a height of 1.20 meters from POINT “2”, and
therefore established as the Finished Floor Level for the Ground Floor.
Using the Finished Floor as reference level, the sloping natural grade shall be cut all the way to
the rear side of the rectangular footprint, whose perimeter wall shall eventually be retained for
structural integrity. Thus the rear wall and some parts of the side walls of the Ground Floor are
partially “submerged”, and so extra care is noted on waterproofing.
