 I. INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT

We all know that commercial buildings are truly important as a part of doing business,
especially to those renters and owners because they are both earning on that place. A commercial
building is not just only contains one type of business, it contains restaurant, different firms, BPO, B
offices or manufacturing an etc. According to indeed, a site where they will guide you to your
career., defines commercial building are buildings where commercial activities take place.
Commercial buildings include office buildings, retail space, warehouses and more. This differs
somewhat from commercial property, which also includes multi-family buildings like apartment
buildings. The reason for this is that commercial buildings are where commerce happens, while
commercial property earns money for its owners but doesn't have to have commerce happening in
it. Multi-use buildings that have a mix of spaces, such as a retail area and apartments, can still be
considered commercial in certain circumstances.

Some people think that owners and renters are all earning a big money for having a
commercial building, it is when they will choose a good location, a good designer and etc. The
researchers found the commercial buildings are also have an advantages and disadvantages One
of the main advantages of commercial buildings is their ability to provide a large space for various
business needs. This is particularly useful for manufacturing and distribution companies, where the
size and quality of storage space are of critical importance. Also, commercial buildings are often
designed with special features to suit specific business needs, such as dedicated cold rooms,
manufacturing facilities, or truck access.

In addition, commercial buildings offer numerous other advantages. For example, they are
often built in a good location, which allows access to customers, suppliers, and other business
partners. It means these buildings are generally constructed of quality materials, which ensures
durability and reduces the need for repairs and maintenance. As the researchers said lately, the
owner of a commercial building needs to become wise in terms of choosing a place where to build

it. This is especially useful in cities with a high demand for commercial space, where rental prices
often increase. In Philippines, some commercial buildings are usually found in big cities such as
Taguig, Makati, Pasay, Paranaqui and etc.
 Having an advantages means it has an disadvantages too. One of them is the high price of
buying or renting these facilities. The costs are often significantly higher than for residential
properties, and potential owners or users must take this cost into account when planning their
budgets. Also, in the case of a lease, users are usually obliged to pay additional costs, such as
building maintenance costs, real estate taxes, and other fees.

Another disadvantage of commercial buildings is the limitation of parking space, which can
be a problem for visitors and employees. Also, commercial buildings usually require large amounts
of energy for air conditioning, lighting, and other needs, which can lead to high costs and a
negative environmental impact.

Sometimes, people thought that when they see a building, itis just commonly a hotel and a
condo only without knowing that it has a types such as:

An office building might be only one story or it might be a skyscraper, depending on where
it's located and how much the developer wants to invest into it. The owner of an office building
might have offices within it, or they might rent out the entire building. In an office building, the
tenants might be just one company or they might be many companies even on the same floors.

Restaurants are another common type of commercial building. For buildings that contain just
one restaurant and aren't a multi-use property, the owner may be the owner of the restaurant or
they may lease the building to the restaurant owners. This is true whether the restaurant is a
franchise, a chain or an independent restaurant. A restaurant building might be custom built for the
tenant based on brand standards, or it might be built to work for any restaurant tenant. Restaurant
buildings often have advanced requirements compared to other commercial businesses due to
their kitchens.

Retail spaces are a type of commercial building that many think of when thinking of a
commercial type of space. Retail is any type of store or shop, ranging from big box stores that fill
an entire warehouse-style building to small retailers in a building with other retail businesses.

Hotels are another type of commercial building, although it may seem that they qualify as a
residential building and thus not commercial. Because hotels are more of a commercial business
than just renting apartments, and the turnover is usually faster, they are generally considered
commercial.
 Warehouses are a type of commercial building that is common in many places, from large
cities to rural areas. Warehouses are usually a storage hub for another type of business, such as a
logistics and shipping company using a warehouse to store their packages as they process and
transport them or a retail company keeping stock in a warehouse until it's needed in a store.
Warehouses might be a brief stop for what they hold or they might be a long-term storage facility.
Some warehouses need careful climate controls because of the types of things stored there.

Industrial buildings are actually a broad range of buildings including manufacturing facilities,
workshop facilities and even certain types of warehouses are considered industrial. An industrial
building might have hazardous chemicals in it, it might have heavy machinery or it might serve
customers as with an auto shop to residential neighborhoods, although of course the distance can
vary depending on the city or town.

Healthcare may not seem like a commercial business, but many hospitals and clinics are
commercial enterprises aimed at earning money and serving customers, which in healthcare are
called patients. Because of this, healthcare facilities are considered a type of commercial building.
This can range from large hospital campuses to small clinics.

A multi-use commercial building is one that has a variety of tenants. These tenants might
include restaurants, retailers, offices and even health care facilities. The researchers used Makati
as one of the lot area that will be used in this project for some good reason.

Local Review Of Related Literature

The Philippine National Building Code Of The Philippines must be considered in

terms of planning and designing a commercial office space building. The majority of considerations
should be followed because they will impact the design process and the structures future and to
the users. The following are some of the most critical factors to consider while designing a
commercial building in accordance with Presidential Decree no. 1096,The Philippine National
Building code of the Philippines.

 INTERNATIONAL REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

There is a diffence between the law of other countries and Philippines. Not
because they are both the same commercial building, they also the same law that been used.
According to Erwin Mitchell (2022), The Building Safety Act 2022, sometimes known as "the Act," is
being implemented gradually after receiving royal assent on April 28, 2022. In an attempt to
improve building safety in the wake of the 2017 Grenfell Tower tragedy, the Act seeks to amend
the building safety laws. In addition to those currently in place, developers, building
owners/managers, landlords, and contractors will also be impacted by the soon-to-be-passed
secondary legislation and guidelines. We've included a quick summary of the Act's potential effects
on commercial buildings here. Although there are provisions that apply to Wales, Scotland, and
Northern Ireland, the Act's application in England is the main topic of this article. The Act focuses
on buildings classified as higher-risk ("HRBs"), which are designated separately. HRBs are defined
by Part 3 of the Act as structures that are at least 18 meters high or have at least seven stories and
two or more residential units. Part 3 of the Act concentrates on the design and construction stage
of buildings. When a building is being occupied, Part 4 of the Act comes into play. It stipulates that
the building must have at least two residential units and a minimum height of 18 meters, or at least
seven stories. Although the definitions include a residential component, it is not necessary for
these buildings to be exclusively residential; as a result, mixed-use buildings may be included if
they satisfy the additional requirements in part 5 of the act.

In France, A new regulation mandating that all newly constructed commercial

buildings have a portion of their roofs covered with solar panels or plants was recently approved by
the French Parliament. To lessen the financial burden on individuals who are erecting these
structures, the government passed legislation requiring only a portion of the roof to be covered.
Every new building in a commercial zone will be subject to this. Even though environmentalists
fought for total green coverage, this is a significant step toward more sustainably designed
infrastructure and cities. The three main advantages of having a green roof are increased
biodiversity, temperature regulation, and air quality.

Based on the Diamon Lawyers of Canada, there are a lot of laws that you need to be aware of
when buying this type of property. Buyers need to understand which rules and regulations apply to
the CRE you are planning to buy. Often, what you can do with that property will be restricted in
some way.

Below, we list out the main groups of laws that can apply to the CRE you may be thinking of
buying. For some properties, virtually all of these laws will apply in some way. While for others,
only a few will be relevant.

 Disclosure Laws

METHODOLOGY
 I. GEOGRAPHY OF MAKATI

Makati has been acknowledged as the country’s premier financial center for the
last three decades. This stature is very evident of the ever changing skylines, sheer
number of financial institutions and commercial establishments located in the City. As
it matures and evolves further as the country’s financial and commercial center, it is
imperative for the City to be recognized internationally as a global center – one among a
handful in the Asia Pacific region – that serves as a nexus of
internationafinance,promotes international cooperation and a model of urban
governance. Already a global center of Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), the City
seeks to be a world leader in the emerging Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO)
industry.

Being primarily service-oriented, Makati can also position itself in the Meetings-
Incentives-Conferences-Exhibits (MICE) tourism market through innovative infrastructures
and well-conceived branding and marketing of the City. The City as the leading urban
tourist destination will be strengthened by developing and enhancing existing facilities,
increasing the number and improving the quality of hotels and related services. The
creative economy of animation, fashion, design and advertising that is taking shape
in the City should also be harnessed and nurtured to make the City not only
economically progressive but enriching and culturally vibrant as well. oreover, the
presence of such creative industries will make the City energetic, livelier and a trendy place
to live in and to visit.

The Conceptual Plan for Makati City:

Presents the existing areas that sustain Makati’s prominence as the financial capital
and new areas with the potentials to support its role as a Global Center for Business and
Finance; Identifies resources and initiatives that will help attain a Safe, Secure, and
Livable Environment; Highlights existing infrastructure that has set it apart from other
cities in the country and new Innovative Infrastructures needed to help bring it to
international prominence; Indicates potential sites and opportunities that can contribute to

the creation of the Makati brand and the emergence of an Imageable City.

Connectivity Internally and Externally – linking the city through road network
pedestrian walkways, rails, waterways to regional and international corridors and
gateways. Several concept plans are presented in this section to graphically show Makati’s
development potentials. The Structure Plan (Figure 11) at the end of the section attempts to
consolidate all pertinent information and show the city’s future development areas as
well as sites that need immediate attention.

Vibrant Neighborhoods (Thematic vibrancy to define the uniqueness of the

neighborhoods) Vibrancy is a quality that has been used to measure economic activity

and social interaction in a city or community. Makati is known for the

employment and economic opportunities it provides for many, including on-Makati

residents and recreational facilities that other cities do not have (e.g. golf courses, polo
club, SHopping centers). “Inclusive growth” is a concept that means shared growth or
broad based growth wherein the benefits are shared by everybody regardless of age,
gender, religion or social status. Inclusive growth strives to reduce poverty and encourages
participation of people in the city’s growth process.

Safe and Secure Communities

Safety and security are major

considerations that boost investor
confidence in the City as a place to
do business as well as to reside. Land
use planning is one of the most
influential means of ensuring safety
from geological and hydro-
meteorological hazards as it determines
the appropriate type and intensity of land
uses for all areas in the city. Quite
often, it is best that areas identified as
prone to hazards be left undeveloped.
In the case of Makati City, many areas
that were assessed to be prone to
hazards have been occupied as a result
of unbridled urbanization in the 1970s and
1980s
Local, Metropolitan, and International
Connectivity

Makati’s central location and the

availability of transport infrastructure

make it one of the most accessible

cities in Metro Manila. Nonetheless,

there are still many prospects for new

transport infrastructure that will

benefit Metro Manila but will also

further contribute to the City’s

connectivity to other parts of the

Philippines and the world (e.g.,

express highways to the international

airport(s), transit lines.

Climate and Average Weather Year Round in Makati City
In Makati City, the wet season is overcast, the dry season is partly cloudy, and it is hot and
oppressive year round. Over the course of the year, the temperature typically varies
from 73°F to 93°F and is rarely below 69°F or above 97°F. Based on the beach/pool score, the best time
of year to visit Makati City for hot-weather activities is from late December to early April.
 Climate in Makati City

AVERAGE TEMPERATURE IN MAKATI CITY

The hot season lasts for 1.5
months, from April 5 to May 20,
with an average daily high
temperature above 92°F. The
hottest month of the year in Makati
City is May, with an average high
of 92°F and low of 79°F.
The cool season lasts for 2.7
months, from November
22 to February 12, with an
average daily high temperature
below 87°F. The coldest month of
the year in Makati City is January,
with an average low of 73°F and
high of 86°F.

1. SOIL TYPE
Makati City's surface soil type is dominated by clay and sand, with a little amount of
silt in Barangay Pembo, as illustrated in Fig. 5. The western surface sand layers are
hauled in from Metro Manila's Coastal Lowland, which is plentiful in sand. Along
bodies of water, the northern and central barangays have surface sand layers.
Pembo with a silt layer on the surface is also situated along the body of water that
originates from the Sierra Madre. The meander of Pembo is very susceptible to
building up fine-grained materials. Fine-grained sediment such as silt, tends to build
up on meandering rivers [40]. This explains the prevalent presence of silt in its
surface layer. The clay and sand layers around Makati City, are reworked deposits of
 primary tuff and pyroclastic-flow deposits. Studies indicate that the pyroclastic flow
unit overlies a succession Of partially marine epiclastic sediments [38]. These marine
epiclastic sediments are in relation to the connection of Manila Bay to Laguna Lake
3,000 years ago. However, it was separated from Manila Bay by repeated episodic
uplifts along the West Marikina Valley Fault [41-42]. At the moment, the bay-lake
interaction between Manila Bay and Laguna Lake occurs via the Pasig River, the
lake's sole outlet, where Makati City is located. Silt strata are encountered at depths
of 1 meter, 2 meters, and 3 meters below the earth in the region of Bel-Air, Urdaneta,
and Forbes Park, as illustrated in Fig. 6, Fig. 7, and Fig. 8. This is an example of
Fine-grained sediments isolated during the geological process of Makati City.
However, as one descends farther into Pembo, a continuous sand layer becomes
visible. An alternating layer of sand and clay can be seen in the surface layer; these
are marine epiclastic sediments and eroded soil materials from the Sierra Madre
mountains.

 ETHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS

Iconic Spaces and Landmarks Although the City is a recognized international business center,
there are few buildings or spaces that clearly symbolize the city. There are several opportunities,
however, where such landmarks may be established. The GCZ and the RDZ are two prominent
zones where the City’s new iconic spaces and landmarks can be developed. The two zones are
connected through the Pasig River Waterfront Development. (Figure 10) Iconic buildings and civic
spaces have the power to create a positive and indelible image of a city. Many cities have achieved
instant recognition with the introduction of new spectacular architecture (e.g. Marina Bay Sands in
Singapore, Taipei 101 in Taipei, Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur) and green projects (e.g.
Cheongyecheon River in Seoul, High Line in New York City). Since the City is in need of civic
buildings (e.g. performance halls, museums, convention centers), these new structures have to be
designed in the most modern, innovative, and unique manner that would help portray the city’s
international importance. Landmark urban design proposals can also be educational and
informative elements that provide geographic reference (e.g. gateways, relief maps) or educational
value (e.g. history, environment, geology, biology). Iconic structures or facilities may also be
installed in prominent locations such as at the intersection of Gil Puyat Avenue and Ayala Avenue
and the intersection of Chino Roces Avenue, Metropolitan Avenue and Vito Cruz. Imageable places
include facilities and spaces that show off Makati’s culture and heritage. Heritage structures,
cultural events, and intangible assets (e.g., dance, festivals, music, literature, costume, and
cuisine) also contribute to the City’s brand.
 DESIGN PROPOSAL

A call center is a centralized department that handles inbound and outbound

calls from current and potential customers. Call centers are located either within an
organization or outsourced to another company that specializes in handling calls.

Call centers focus on one communication channel: the telephone.Contact

centers provide support from additional channels, such as email, chat, websites and
applications. A contact center may include one or more call centers.

Contact centers provide omnichannel support, assisting customers on whichever

channel or device they use. Whether an organization chooses a call center or contact
center depends on its products and services, the channels on which it provides
customer support and the structures of the organization's support teams.
