PLANNING
CONSIDERATION
IN DEVELOPING
THE SITE
The location of the house must be
considered in order to determine the
locations of the rooms and the house itself on
the lot. Some lots are located on swampy
grounds and others on hilly or rugged
terrain. Still others are sited near rivers,
highways, streets and squatter areas. The
front part of the house generally faces the
street or away from ugly views like the back
parts of neighboring houses, a swampy area,
and thick bushes.

ORIENTATION DESIGN
The house may be located at the
center of the lot. Or one of its sides
may be exactly on a lot line or fence.
In this case, a firewall which is
made of concrete, adobe, and
concrete hollow blocks should be
constructed on this side of the
house.

Zoning
Refers to the legal restrictions on size,
location, and type of structures to be
built on a designated area.
Zoning Laws
One major area covered by building code is
the zoning laws. Zoning laws are designed
to keep different areas of a community from
interfering with each other. In some cities or
towns, separate areas are set aside for
specific uses. Examples are residential,
commercial, and industrial. These are
established and protected by zoning laws.
In addition, zoning laws establish standards
for construction in different sizes and uses.
Building Code are local laws that set
standard for structural design within the
community.
This is a collection of local laws that regulate
the building of homes and other structures.
These legal requirements are intended to
protect the safety and health of the people
who live and work in the buildings. They
regulate restrictions concerning the
construction of buildings to provide safety to
the occupants.
•Qualifications of persons who can

•Structural design that can be used
•Lot sizes for certain types of buildings
•Types and sizes of materials that can be
used.
