Chapter-1 Introduction

1.1 What is building planning

 Building planning is the arrangement of various components or units of a building in a
systematic manner so as to form a meaningful and homogeneous structure to meet its
functional purpose. Building planning is a graphical representation of what a building will
look like after construction. It is used by builders and contractors to construct buildings of
all kinds. Building planning is also useful when it is essential to estimate how much a
project will cost and for preparing project budgets building planning is also useful.
 The basic objective of planning the building is to arrange all the units of the building on all
floors at a given level according to their functional requirements. By doing this, one can
make the best use of space available for building.
 In building planning, privacy can be obtained by judicious planning of the building with
respect to grouping, the position of doors and windows, mode of the hanging of doors,
location of entrance and pathways, drives, etc. Sometimes, provision of lobbies, corridors,
screens, etc.

1.2 UGC Guidelines for Construction of Buildings in Colleges

1.2.1 Introduction:
The quality of education in any institution depends to a large extent on the availability of
infrastructure, primarily buildings. In order to help the Colleges in the
construction/renovation of various types of buildings, the UGC provides grants to the
Colleges as part of the Block Grant to Colleges. Colleges may propose up to 50% of total
funds they are eligible under components I of Block Grant to Colleges (BGC) for the
construction of building.
1.2.2 Objective:
The objective is to provide grants to colleges to undertake construction as well as
renovation/extension (of existing buildings) viz. class rooms, library, laboratories,
administrative block, staff quarters, hostels etc. under Block Grant to Colleges.
1.2.3 Nature of Assistance Available for Building Under BGC:
The UGC will provide financial assistance for the construction / renovation /extension (of
existing buildings) of buildings on 100% basis within the ceiling of assistance approved
under ‘Capital Assets’ (35) of component I of BGC. Colleges should ensure creation of
special facilities such as ramps, rails and special toilets and make other necessary changes
to suit the special needs of differently-abled

Gujarat Technological University Government Polytechnical Rajkot

1.2.4 Procedure for availing Assistance:
 Building Committee and its Composition:
 The College should constitute a Building Committee with the following members: -
 The Principal/ In –Charge Principal
 The Vice-Principal (if appointed)
 A representative of the affiliating University
 A Technical representative of the CPWD/PWD/ Zilla Parishad / Corporation, etc.
(not below the rank of Assistant Engineer)
 Two representatives from the teachers of the College. In case of staff quarters, a
representative of non- teaching staff should also be included
 A representative from user- teaching department (s)
 A representative each from Administration and Accounts Division
 The Architect engaged by the College. The person should be registered with the
Council of Architecture
 The quorum should be maintained while conducting meetings. The quorum is 5. However,
the presence of university representative and either the Engineer or the Architect is must
during the Building Committee meetings.
 The Building Committee will be responsible for finalizing the plan and estimates of the
building projects proposed by the College and also for ensuring the completion of the
construction of buildings in accordance with the finalized plan and estimates. Besides, it
will also be responsible for proper utilization of the funds received from the UGC, the
Government and from the College, for the proposed project.

1.2.5 Procedure for Approval of Building Projects

 Before approving the building projects, the Building Committee should verify the following
documents.
 Plan of the proposed building project duly prepared and signed by a Qualified Engineer
/Registered Architect, countersigned by the principal and approved by local authority.
Provision for ramps and toilets in the buildings to enable the use of the building by the
differently - abled persons.
 Title deed of the land in which the college proposes to construct the building, College
should own the land.
 Detailed Estimates duly signed by the Principal and Qualified Engineer / Architect.
 Rate Conformity Certificate and Abstract of Total Cost duly signed by
PWD/CPWD/Qualified Engineer from any Government Department/ Government
Undertaking / Autonomous Body (Zilla Parishad/ Corporation) / University.
 Building Project Certificates.
 On the basis of the above documents, the building committee will consider the proposal and
resolve to take up the building project.
 After the Building Committee has resolved to take up the building projects with UGC
assistance, the College should submit the following information to the UGC:
 Resolution of the building committee indicating name of the building project, type of
building, the area covered in sq. meters, cost per square meter, total estimated cost,
latest schedule of rates, period for completion of the project, likely date of starting the
Gujarat Technological University Government Polytechnical Rajkot
 construction and mode of construction [deposit work with State PWD/CPWD or by
college or through Contractor/Private Construction Agencies].
 Certificate from the Building committee that the approved plan and estimates of the
building is in conformity with the norms as prescribed by the Commission and the
rates are as per CSR of the region, and undertakes to carry out the construction as per
the provisions of the guidelines and in adherence to the financial rules of the State
Government.
 The resolution and certificate of the building committee shall bear the signature of all
the members of the Committee.
1.2.6 Mode of construction
 The College may adopt one of the following alternatives for undertaking the building
projects approved by the Building Committee including their planning, architectural design,
structural design, preparation of estimates and construction work, but it may be ensured that
not more than two agencies are involved in the planning and execution of the work.
 The work relating to planning, architectural design, structural design, preparation of
estimates and execution of construction work may be assigned to the CPWD, the
State PWD or any other Government agency/ Public Sector Undertaking, as the case
may be, as a deposit work, in toto.
OR
 The Architect (registered with the Council of Architecture) may prepare the
architectural design. For selecting the Architect, applications may be invited
through advertisement in one national daily and one local daily. The Building
Committee will make the final selection.
OR
 The execution of the work may be carried out by the College itself provided it
appoints competent, authorized persons to supervise the work. While preparing the
estimates, the Architect/Engineer should see that these are based on the
specifications and schedule of the rates of the CPWD or PWD. Estimates should
indicate the relevant item number in the CPWD or PWD schedule on the basis of
which the estimates have been prepared and the registered Architect/Engineer who
prepared the estimates should certify that they are in accordance with the schedule
of rates of the CPWD or PWD concerned.
 If the College is planning to carry out the entire work or part of the work viz., structural
design, preparation of estimates and execution through contractor, the same may be done by
inviting tenders. The College may advertise tender information in one national daily and
one local daily for initiating the construction project. Generally, the lowest one would be
allowed and if the lowest tender is not agreed to, the reasons there of may be explained by
the College. The information, as given below, may be sent to UGC along with the
utilization certificate for component.
i. Value of the estimates for which tenders were invited.
ii. Number of tenders received
iii. Value of the lowest tender
iv. Value of the tender accepted and
v. Specific reasons if the lowest tender has not been accepted.

 Chapter-2 Literature Review Planning Principals

2.1. Principal of building planning

There are some principals for college building planning, which are as follows. These principles are
not as rigid as the laws of nature, some deviations from these principles are necessary and the
inadequacies in them must be made up by one.
A. Aspect:
 Aspect is the positioning of rooms in buildings with respect to 4 directions in such a way
that the occupants of buildings would enjoy the natural comforts like sunshine, breeze,
scenery, etc. to the maximum possible extent.
 A room receiving light and air from any particular direction is said to have the aspect of
that direction. All the rooms of a dwelling need a particular aspect. Some necessary aspects
of commonly constructed rooms are listed below.

Figure- 1: Aspect diagram

B. Prospect:
 Prospect in building planning is the view desired by the occupants of the building from
certain of the house. Prospect is dictated by surrounding peculiarities good or bad of the
selected site like a flower garden or garbage dumps, it demands the disposition of doors and
windows-like aspect. However, a good layout should not be disturbed for the sake of good
prospects only.
 Certain projecting windows or a blind face of the bay with window openings at sides would
help for concealment of inside views of a building.

Gujarat Technological University Government Polytechnical Rajkot

 Figure – 2: Prospect
C. Furniture Requirements
Furniture is a functional requirement of a room. A living room, drawing room, kitchen, classroom,
office room, laboratory, hospital room, etc. all have their own furniture requirements.

Figure – 3: Furniture Requirements

D. Roominess
 Roominess is obtained by getting
the maximum benefit from the
minimum dimension of a room
without cramping the plan. By
using every nook and corner of
the building advantage roominess
is derived.
 In residential buildings, considerable storage space is required for various purposes which
are provided by making space for wall cupboards, lofts, wooden shelves, etc.

Gujarat Technological University Government Polytechnical Rajkot

 Figure-4: Roominess

 A rectangular room is more useful than a square room in the same area. The length and
breadth ratio of a good room should be between 1.2 to 1.5. A ratio more than that creates a
bad effect. A small room should not be made unnecessary too high.

E. Grouping
 Grouping in building planning means setting different rooms of a building according to
their inter-relationship of invitation and transition. The rooms arranged in the layout in a
proper correlation of their functions and in due proximity with each other.
 Grouping In Residential Building Plan
 The dining room should be close to the kitchen.
 The kitchen should be kept away from the main living room.
 Main bedrooms should have independent and separate access from each room towards the
sanitary units.
 In an office building, hospitals, etc. The administrative department should be located
centrally for convenience and economy of services.

F. Circulation
 Access or internal connection between rooms on the same floor or between floors is known
a circulation. Circulation between rooms of the same floor is called horizontal circulation
like- passages, corridors, halls, etc. Circulation between various floors is known as vertical
circulation, like- stairs, lifts, etc.

Figure-5: Circulation

 Horizontal Circulation should be independent, short, and straight not invade the property of
any room. All the passages should be well ventilated and lighted.

Gujarat Technological University Government Polytechnical Rajkot

 Stairs should also be well lighted and ventilated and properly planned in regard to width,
rise, and tread. Stairs should not have winder steps.

G. Sanitation
 Sanitation of building not only associated with urinals, bath-rooms, wash-basins, sinks but
also the overall lighting and ventilation. All the parts of a building should have well
lighting and ventilation to maintain good hygienic conditions. This could be done in a
natural way or in an artificial way (air condition).
 Necessary provision to facilitate the cleaning of the building be installed. Washing closets,
lavatories, urinals, bathrooms like sanitary conveniences should be installed adequate in
number in relation to the occupant load.

H. Elegance
 Elegance is the overall effect produced by elevation and general layout of the plan of a
building. To get good elegance of a building it is better if elevation is developed first and
then the plan is adjusted accordingly.
 Selection of site or open plot for the construction of building greatly affects the elegance.
Building located in depression will give bad elegance whereas building on an elevated spot
gives an impressive appearance. Buildings located on backward sloping upwards ground
give good elevation & elegance.

Gujarat Technological University Government Polytechnical Rajkot

I. Privacy
 Privacy is an important part of building planning. Privacy may be from one part to another
of the same building or could be from neighbouring buildings, streets, etc.

Figure-6: Privacy

 In residential buildings, every room should have certain privacy which can be secured
carefully planning the entrance, pathways, and drives.
 Proper grouping of rooms, good positioning of doors and windows, lobbies, or screens can
give required internal privacy. Toilet rooms, bedrooms, w.c. and urinals should have
absolute privacy.

J. Flexibility
 Flexibility means planning the rooms in such a way that though originally designed for a
specific purpose, may be used for other purposes also when desired.
 For designing houses for middle-class families or other buildings where the economy is the
main consideration flexibility should always be considered.
 If large space is needed in a certain time a house to accommodate the gathering. It can be
obtained by removing a removable partition wall or curtain between the room and the
dining room. Alternatively, an open yard, garden, or veranda can also be provided.

K. Economy
 The economy is a major factor in building planning. To fit the proposed scheme within the
limitations of the resources and funds certain alterations and omissions in the original plan
have to make. But while considering the economy, the required strength and durability of
the structure should not be compromised.
 Some simple economy achieving approaches in buildings are,
 Simple elevation, dispensing of porches, lobbies, etc.
 Steeper rise to the stair, wider steps in the stair.
 Reducing the story height to a bare minimum.
 Standardization of sizes of various components and materials.
Gujarat Technological University Government Polytechnical Rajkot
 L. Practical Consideration
Besides all the Principles of planning discussed, the following practical points should be
additionally considered,
 The strength, stability, convenience, and comfort of the occupants of the building,
should be considered first.
 Provisions for future extensions without dismantling should be made in the
planning.
 The building should be strong and capable to withstand the likely adverse effects of
natural agencies (earthquake, flood, storm, etc.)
 Elevation should be simple yet attractive. Too many porches may give good
elevation for some time, but in the end, simple designs fit better for generations.
 The larger size of the room should always be considered as far as possible as it can
be shortened by providing partitions but smaller rooms cannot be enlarged easily.

2.1.2 Planning principles related to land use and facilities

 Organize the campus in logical districts of compatible land uses.
 Implement compact campus development to achieve the following benefits:

1. Preserve and protect existing natural areas and systems to support teaching and
research;
2. Conserve land and maximize land productivity;
3. Protect contiguous agricultural teaching and research land;
4. Encourage social interactions and vitality;
5. Encourage collaboration, partnering, and interdisciplinary connections;
6. Reinforce ties between research and undergraduate teaching;
7. Control utility, transportation, parking, and infrastructure costs;
8. Enhance functional efficiencies;
9. Maximize efficient energy use; and,
10. Minimize utility distribution extensions, which are inefficient and costly to
maintain.

 Provide intramural recreation fields in locations that balance accessibility for both on- and
off-campus participants.
 Protect and enhance campus open space, providing an appropriate balance (qualitative and
quantitative) to the built environment.
 Protect the land south of mount hope road from development to support agio research and
the college of agriculture and natural resources’ teaching, research, and outreach mission.
 Protect existing and future drinking water well locations in the agricultural district in
accordance with the well head protection plan.

Gujarat Technological University Government Polytechnical Rajkot

  Favour reuse, renovation, and repurposing of existing buildings after carefully assessing
programmatic alignment, functionality, long-term capital renewal (deferred maintenance),
historic significance, location, energy efficiency, and replacement costs.
 Organize the arrangement and design of campus buildings and exterior spaces to encourage
human interaction and to foster a sense of shared community among the university’s
diverse population. This may include, for example, incorporating “transitional spaces”
outside of classrooms for pre- and post-class collaboration and “blended spaces” where
food service, study space, and general meeting resources coexist.
 Design new buildings and renovations to be architecturally compatible with the best
features of existing adjacent buildings and to be harmonious with their contextual
surroundings.
 Maximize flexibility in the design of new and renovated space to accommodate changing
needs and functions over time.
 Recognize historically significant aspects of the campus and the heritage of the campus as a
park and as a living and learning laboratory.
 Acknowledge that the campus is part of the larger surrounding community. Build
compatible land use relationships and circulation patterns.
 Consolidate support service facilities into the services district as defined by the university
zoning ordinance.
 Organize land uses, facilities, and infrastructure to encourage physical activity.

2.1.3 Planning principles related to environmental sustainability

 Minimize environmental impacts and maximize resource conservation through prudent and
compact land use, protecting sensitive environmental systems, and incorporating low-
impact development guidelines.
 Minimize negative impacts to the water quality of the red cedar river watershed;
incorporate best management practices for storm water.
 Acknowledge the intrinsic value of biodiversity and enhance natural system integrity by
creating, restoring, and maintaining large-block natural areas and improving their
interconnections.

Gujarat Technological University Government Polytechnical Rajkot

  Provide a suite of transportation options that maximize the movement of people and
minimize the movement of cars, thus reducing congestion, vehicle miles traveled, and
greenhouse gas emissions.
 Continuously pursue building and utility systems that encourage renewable resource use
and that decrease waste and hazardous materials.

Recognize land use issues associated with climate vulnerability including storm water
management, flooding, snow removal, temperature extremes, and storm intensity

2.1.4 Planning principles related to parking

 Safely and efficiently meet the parking needs of faculty, staff, students, and visitors.
 Integrate parking facilities into the campus setting in an aesthetically pleasing manner
consistent with its park-like setting.
 Utilize a variety of parking resources including surface lots, decks, and parking garages;
emphasize parking on the campus perimeter.
 Provide conveniently located barrier-free spaces across campus.
 Reclaim surface lots for green space and future building sites when appropriate.
 Relocate parking that contributes to unsafe traffic, bicycle, and pedestrian conditions.
 Minimize the loss of open space for small inefficient surface parking lots.
 Connect the campus transit system to major parking facilities.

2.1.5 Planning principles related to circulation

 Emphasize personal safety in the circulation system’s planning and design.
 Design all roads as complete streets (designed and operated to enable safe, attractive, and
comfortable access and travel for all legal users).
 Provide a safe, efficient, and effective transportation network that enhances the overall
quality of life on the campus.
 Incorporate traffic-calming measures where appropriate.
Plan and design for the following circulation priorities:
 Pedestrians first;
 Bicycles and other forms of non-motorized transportation second;
 Mass transit and service vehicles third; and,

Gujarat Technological University Government Polytechnical Rajkot

  Private vehicles last.
 Design for the safety of persons with disabilities in accordance with the Americans with
disability act.
 Reduce private vehicular traffic in academic and residential districts.
 Effectively integrate with the regional transportation system.
 Establish a coordinated bicycle system including bike lanes within roadways, dedicated
pathways and/or shared-use pathways, and convenient and appropriately sized storage
facilities where appropriate.
 Enable an effective and efficient mass transit system including developing residential
neighbourhood transit centres to gain transit efficiencies

2.1.6 Campus planning principles

 The university is committed to a comprehensive and continuous land use planning process that
results in a flexible framework to guide future decision making. The university will consider
the use of resources from environmental, regulatory, operational, economic, historic, and
cultural perspectives in support of its teaching/learning, research, and outreach mission.
 The following planning principles, last updated in 2017, will guide future planning for, and
development on, the Michigan state university campus. The principles are organized in the
following categories: general principles, land use and facilities, environmental sustainability,
open space, parking, circulation, and utility infrastructure.

2.1.7 General principles

 Arrange campus buildings, open space, circulation and utility systems to:
 Establish positive interactions among academic, research, outreach, cultural, and operational
activities;
 Protect and strengthen the campus as a living-learning resource integral to the university’s
mission;
 Protect and enhance campus beauty;
 Enhance environmental stewardship;
 Minimize energy impacts and increase/retain energy efficiencies; and
 Optimize safety and facilitate risk management

2.2 Floor area ratio
= (Gross Floor Area) / (Area of the plot)
 For example, if the total floor area of a building across two floors is 300 sq. m and the
plot area is 200 sq. m,
FAR = 300/200 = 1.5
 Built-up area or Covered area:
The plot area minus the area due for open spaces is known as the built-up area.
Following are the limitations of the built-up area mentioned in the National Building
Code.

Table-1: - Floor area ratio

No Plot area Maximum permissible built-up

area
1 Less than 200 sq. m 60% with two-storeyed structure
2 200-500 sq. m 50 % of the plot area
3 500-1000 sq. m 40 % of the plot area
4 more than 1000 sq. m 33.33 % of the plot area

2.3 Building buy-laws

2.3.1 What are building bye laws?
 When planning to construct a property, it is imperative to thoroughly understand the term
‘building bye laws’ to avoid future conflicts.
 Legally abiding, building bye laws are the construction norms set by the government
authorities to ensure uniform development and protect buildings against internal and
external hazards.

2.3.2 Purpose of building bye laws

 Ensure uniform development of buildings in societies as well as towns
 Affirm public safety against noise, fire, health hazards and structural failures.
 Ensure optimum utilisation of space
 Follow approaches which safeguard complete health, safety and comfort of residents, such
as proper ventilation, air, light and other essentials.

2.3.3 Building bye laws include norms related to the following

 Floor area ratio (FAR) and ground coverage
Gujarat Technological University Government Polytechnical Rajkot
  Density
 Basement and parking spaces
 Setbacks and projections
 Area and its usage
 Building height and other service spaces
 Provision for lifts and basement area
 Site design and service design– sewerage, electrical design, and water, among others
 Building line
 Amalgamation

2.3.4 The objective of building bye-laws

 to provide guidelines to the designing architects and engineers. It becomes easier to pre-
plan building provisions and activities.
 the building bye-laws prevent unplanned development.
 it provides safety to human beings who work and live in them against fire, noise, health
hazard and structural failure.

2.3.5 Why are building bye-laws necessary?

 Building bye-laws are necessary to protect any building against noise, fire, earthquakes,
structural failures, and any hazardous activity.
 Many small and medium-sized structures in India don’t have building bye-laws and are
constructed in the absence of any regulatory mechanism with excessive coverage and
dangerous development causing a chaotic situation.

2.3.6 What new features does “model building bye laws-2016” include?
 Green building and sustainable provisions - rainwater harvesting, wastewater reuse, installation
of solar rooftop PV rooms.
 Provisions for disabled, elderly and children - access path/ walkway, toilet, parking, drinking
water, stairways, lifts, refuge and designing for children safety.
 Structural safety and security - includes disaster management guidelines for different building
types. Prevention measure against ‘soft storeys’ in multi-storey buildings and proof checking of
structural designs.
 High rise building regulation - structural safety requirements for high rise buildings, open
spaces, building components, services and fire safety parameters.
Gujarat Technological University Government Polytechnical Rajkot
 Swachh Bharat mission - revised regulations for adequate toilet facilities for women and public
conveniences such as separate public toilets for visitors in public buildings.
 Rain water harvesting - provision for harvesting rainwater in different types of buildings and
responsibilities for urban local bodies (UID) in public spaces. Includes rainwater harvesting
techniques, provision for open spaces, enforcement and monitoring.
 Communication technology - provision for effects of electromagnetic radiations in built spaces
by identifying emissions and sources.
 Conservation of heritage sites - states the responsibilities for owners of heritage buildings
regarding repairs, restrictions on development, preservation of the beauty of the area and
penalties.
 Special requirements for occupancy/land development - includes provisions for industrial and
commercial buildings regarding the development of land, building in the mining area, poultry
farms and penal action for violation of the master plan.
 Ease of doing business - introduce provision for online building plan approval process,
generation of reports/approvals, automatic generation of the completion certificate, clearance of
master plans and integration of a “single window” process for users.
 Building plans approval - includes different bodies in charge for clearance of building plans
before construction such as urban art commission (UAC), national monuments authority
(NMA), airports authority of India (AAI), metro rail corporation (MRC), heritage conservation
committee (HCC), etc. To grant no objection certificate (NOC)/ approvals on the proposed
building plans to the local bodies. Moreover, the clearance of the master plan from different
bodies is required.

2.3.7 General information on model building bye-laws

 TCPO (Town and Country Planning Organisation) prepares the model building bye-laws
2016 for urban local bodies, state government, and urban local authorities for regulating
illegal activity. This is the improved version of model building bye-laws 2004.
 These bye-laws were provided to all the states, of which 22 states have taken a
comprehensive revision of model building bye-laws 2004. The reasons for the revision are
mentioned below:
1. Swatch Bharat mission
2. Ease of doing business
3. New trending technological developments

Gujarat Technological University Government Polytechnical Rajkot

 4. Environmental factors
5. Safety and security
 In 2015, the ministry of urban development desired some additions to the model building
bye-laws 2004. The ministry wished to add norms of solar roof installation, additional
building provisions for construction in a hazard-prone area, barrier-free environment for
the old, children, and disabled persons, and the effect of electromagnetic radiation in
places.
 After the preparation of the draft of the model building bye-laws 2016 was circulated to
central government agencies, urban development corporation, and certain government
local bodies and authorities. A national workshop based on the draft of model building
bye-laws 2016 was organized in 2015 with the objective of suggestions for the model
building bye-laws 2016. A total of 110 participants provided their suggestions and
comments, some of the important comments are mentioned below:
 low-income housing norm
 update required for the is code by bis (bureau of Indian standards)
 parking spaces for vehicles (parking norms)
 high-rise building standards
 green building standards
 building plan approval for ease of doing business
 update the fire norms by considering the stairs and exit ways

2.4 State of the art in planning for college and university campuses: site planning and beyond

 Problem, research strategy, and findings: colleges and universities have been planning their
campuses for centuries, yet scholars have conducted little empirical research regarding the
nature of campus planning in the United States.
 We review recent scholarship on campus planning, discovering that it is dominated by case
studies (sometimes in edited collections) and some comparative studies.
 in this review we organize the literature into 3 geographic scales: the campus per se (or
campus park), the campus–¬community interface, and the larger campus district. The
literature addresses 5 topics: land use, design, sustainability, economic development, and
collaboration.
 most of the studies focus on research-oriented universities in metropolitan locations.
 the literature emphasizes how campus master planning can support student learning, how
design and building guidelines can make a campus more cohesive, and how campuses are
adopting sustainable development and operations.
Gujarat Technological University Government Polytechnical Rajkot
  at the campus–¬community interface, the research documents how some colleges and
universities have expanded beyond their traditional boundaries, invested in local economic
development, and worked with their communities to improve transportation and reduce
environmental impacts.
 studies of campus district planning emphasize community adoption of development
regulations and code enforcement procedures to reduce the impact of students living in
nearby neighbourhoods.
 The literature stresses the importance of partnerships, collaboration, and enhanced
communications between the university and the community.

2.5 Cross-sectional details showing the height of the building and floor height

 As per NBC the height of the building with respect to its road width is listed below.

Construction planning—beyond the critical path

 This paper presents an evolutionary concept of planning for construction. It is drawn from a
confluence of a heuristic analysis of the construction process, planning for construction, the
writing of some leaders in construction literature and the industry, the failings and lack of use
of CPM and pert in the industry, and a consideration of pre cpm construction planning and
control.
 This heuristic process of construction planning is described along with its supporting rationale
and its linkage to cost control, construction control, the learning curve, resource allocation,
queuing theory, management information systems, etc.

2.6 Set-back or building line

Gujarat Technological University Government Polytechnical Rajkot
  The frontage margin or open space in front of the abutting road is called as set-back or
building line. Beyond this line, nothing can be constructed towards the plot boundaries.

Figure-7: Set-back or building line

 The need for building line

1. If absolutely necessary, the land contained in set-back may be acquired for the purpose of
widening of the road.

2. The setback at corner improves visibility and impart safety to the moving traffic.

3. The space of setback can be used as a parking place or for developing a garden.

4. It provides protection of buildings from street disturbances.

5. It reduces the danger of fire by increasing the distance between the opposite buildings.

2.7 Open space requirements all over the building

 As per NBC, the open space for different heights of buildings is listed below.

7 Water closet (w.c.) 1.1 sq. m
8 Bath combined 2.8 sq. m, minimum width 1.2 m

2.1.1 Hight of rooms and buildings

 As per NBC, the general criteria to determine the height of a building is 1.5 times the
width of the street to which the building abuts on its front side.

 For street width of 8-12 m, the building height should not be more than 12 m.

Gujarat Technological University Government Polytechnical Rajkot

  For street width more than 12 m, the height of a building should not be more than the
width of the street and in case more than 24 m.

2.1.2 Lighting and ventilation of rooms

 For sufficient lighting and ventilation of rooms of buildings, opening like windows and
ventilators or direct opening should be provided.

 The area of such openings excluding the area of doors should be minimum 1/10th of the
floor area for dry and hot climate and minimum 1/6th of the area for wet hot climate.

The aggregate area of doors and windows should not be less than 1/7th of the floor area of the
room.

To accommodate 60 (Maximum 75) students, three-seater batches of 30 in size
approximately 1.50 X 0.50 are required. Taking into account the circulation area and
lecture platform, the size of the room should be 12.0 X 6.0 meters as per Annexure 2.
2. The college should have 8 labs as per Annexure 1, concrete lab, soil lab, computer lab,
survey lab, hydraulic lab, structure mechanics lab, BTE lab, WSSE lab etc.
The size of which should be 12×6 meters as per Annexure 2.
So, it should have 32 big tables, 40 stools, 2 chairs and 15 fans. It should have 2 toilets 2
boys and 2 girls.
The size of which should be 6×6 meters.
3. It should have 2 HOD cabin. One for Civil Department Head and other for Applied
Mechanics Department Head.
The size of which should be 8×6 meters.
so, it accommodates 2 tables, 5 guest chairs, 3 cupboards.

 Chapter-5: Conclusion

By completing this project, we have a deeper understanding towards the importance of

college building planning. Through this project we can explore the planning of the college building
to reduce environmental damage, reduce construction and maintenance costs and provide all kinds
of facilities. This gives us knowledge about various rules and principles and how each structure
reacts to the system. Each structure in the system is equally important to build it. Principals of
college building planning, building by-laws, need for planning, what to keep in mind while
planning etc. were able to learn important issues.
