FOREWORD
The destruction caused by natural calamities that had severely
affected some parts of the country has brought about the need to.
build back better buildings, particularly schoo! buildings, with
disaster-resilient standards.
Thorough assessments made on the calamity-damaged school
buildings, show that proper construction methodologies, effective
project supervision and quality control are important factors that
would yield better and resilient structures ensuring the safety of
the primary occupants - the school children.
The task of rebuilding these damaged school buildings is so
enormous. Thus, given the limitation of highly experienced technical
professionals, this SIMPLIFIED CONSTRUCTION HANDBOOK
for school buildings is designed to help the supervising Architects/
Engineers, Contractors and Construction Foremen as an easy
reference for checking, monitoring and overseeing the construction
and repair activities
The typical methods as illustrated and simple descriptions in this
Handbook are meant to explain the critical processes in building
construction, from mobilization to demobilization — including the
importance of laying out the building on the ground to the proper
construction methodologies up to its completion
| therefore enjoin all those concerned technical personnel to use
this Handbook as easy reference and proper guidance.

JOB CONTROL FORMS
There are two essential job control forms that need to be
accomplished by the inspector before concrete pouring on a specific
structural member, as follows:
|. Form Closure Request (refer to Appendix A)
a, The Contractor's Project Engineer conducts a thorough inspection
of installed formworks, reinforcing bar works, utility roughing-ins
and concrete spacers to make sure that they comply with the
construction plans, specification and sound engineering practices.
Affixes his/her signature on the “Inspected By” box:
The DPWH Project Inspector checks and venihes the same to
check on compliance and affixes his/her signature in the “Checked
By” box;
¢. The DPWH Project Engineer approves the Form Closure Request
by signing the “Approved By” box.
2. Concrete Pouring Request (refer to Appendix B)
a. The Contractor's Project Engineer conducts a thorough inspection
of installed formworks, reinforcing bar works, utility roughing-ins
and concrete spacers to make sure that they comply with the
construction plans, specification and sound engineering practices.
Affxes his/her signature on the “Inspected By” box;
b. The DPWH Project Inspector checks and verifies the same to
check on compliance and affixes hisMher signature i the “Checked
By” box:
c. The DPWH Project Engineer approves the Concrete Pouring
Request by signing the “Approved By” box.
Note: These forms should always be readily available on site and shall
be submitted by the Contractor to the DPWH Project Engineer for
appropriate filing

Installation
In the installation of J-Bolt,
two (2) men are required to
work simultaneously. One will
insert the bolt through the hole
from the indoor and the other
will fasten the nut outdoor.
Before fastening the nut, fit
a neoprene gasket then a washer
bigger than the gasket.
In fastening the nut,
precaution must be observed
to avoid warping of the G.|
Sheet.

Laying Out
In laying out the place-
ment for the J-Bolt, make
sure that it will be alligned
near enough the lip of the
putin avoiding it to be
drilled when making holes.
A guide chord may be str-
etched out from end to end
of the purlin to establish the
desired alignment.
Drilling
Alter laying out, drilling
points should be located at
crown every other two
corrugations of the roofing
material (G.|. Sheets).
