Classrooms ready before the school year
Steel-framed classroom blocks, laboratories, libraries, gymnasiums and dormitories for private schools, universities and school building programmes – fast, safe in Zone 4 and ready to shelter the community.
- 2–5
- Storeys typical
- Zone 4
- Ductile seismic design
- Modular
- Repeatable classroom bays
Built between two school years
School construction has a fixed deadline: the first day of classes. A steel frame is fabricated while foundations are built, then erected floor by floor in weeks, so the building can be enclosed and fitted out during the break.
Standard classroom bays repeat across floors and campuses, which keeps design, fabrication and cost predictable for schools expanding in several cities.

- AISC 360 / AISC 341Structural steel design and seismic provisions, as referenced by NSCP Chapter 5
- AISI S100Cold-formed steel members – purlins, girts and eave struts
- AWS D1.1Structural welding – procedures, welders and inspection
- ISO 12944Corrosion protection by paint systems, by corrosivity category C2–C5
- PD 1096 · RA 9514National Building Code and Fire Code of the Philippines (Revised IRR 2019)
- Engineer of record
- Plans and calculations signed and sealed by a Philippine-licensed civil or structural engineer for the building permit
- Fire safety
- Fire Safety Evaluation Clearance (FSEC) from the BFP before the permit; fire-resistance ratings per type of construction
Summary for orientation only – the project specification, the adopted code edition and the authority having jurisdiction govern.
Engineering
A safe place in a disaster
Schools are often used as evacuation centres. Where the owner or LGU requires it, we design for the higher importance factors of NSCP 2015 so the building remains usable after a typhoon or earthquake.

Frequently asked questions
Can steel schools meet fire requirements?
Yes. Members are protected to the rating the Fire Code requires for educational occupancy, typically with intumescent coatings applied in our plant.
Is steel noisy for classrooms?
With concrete-topped composite floors and normal finishes, steel-framed classrooms perform like concrete ones acoustically.
