 Design and Cost Estimation of four stories private school

Introduction
Due to the needs and wants of human the engineering construction society is improving.
Consequently, the renewable method of engineering is applied for the safe, efficient and
economical buildings. Afghanistan is the country experiences the rapid growth in
construction, however, has led way to problems such as non-standard constructions due to
insufficient consideration of building code and standards.
Therefore we undertook the design of four stories building for private school located in
chehelsetoon 7th district of Kabul. The mentioned building for school is considered of 8
classes and has 4 washroom in each floor and basement is the facilities of students such as
library, computer lab, laboratory and a conference hall.

In Afghanistan most of building constructions build by unprofessional persons without

considering Design requirements. Based on their experience it might be safe but it could be
uneconomical project. So, we decided to design a six stories building as a professional
engineers considering all requirements, Codes and specifications requirements for design
which our project be safe and economical. This project is located in ………..
New standards are put forward to ensure that every demand is met. Thus
Using Codes and specifications are important requirements of Design.
