CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1. Problem Identification and Scoping
1.1.1. Goals
The purpose of this study is to assess the viability of developing a condominium on the
site in Diversion Naga City. In addition, this study will explore the potential for building an eco-
efficient condominium development for the site.
1.1.2. Project Scope
Our project addresses the physical conditions of the site, such as soil conditions and also
addresses the ways on developing green building structures on the site. In addressing the
physical conditions, we hope to formulate an idea of what and how we can develop the proposed
building of condominium on the site. In addressing the problem of how to make the
condominium eco-efficient, we hope to formulate some ideas and make a plan on how the
condominium will turn into an eco-efficient one.
1.1.3. Project Objectives
The objectives of this project is as follows :
1. Determine if the land allotted is appropriate for purchase and development.
2. Plan and design the condominium project.
3. Be able to apply appropriate green building materials in the condominium project.
4. Find out if the proposed project will profit .
1.2. Assumption of the Study
In view of the quality of the units of the proposed Eco-Efficient Condominium that will
be built in Diversion Naga City. An assumption can be made that the proposed
condominium project in Diversion is feasible.
1.3. Defintion of Term
The following list below are listed to help the readers in understanding the terms which
will be encountered in this research:
Condominium : a building or complex of buildings containing a number of individually
owned apartments or houses.
Eco-efficieny : based on the concept of creating more goods and services while using

2.2. Location and Land Area:
The property has approximately 0.22 hectares of land located at Diversion Naga
City. The site is at the side of Almeda Highway in front of Robinson.
2.3. Proximity to Local Amenities :
The location of the area is very close to the Robinsons Place Naga Shopping
Centre that is currently being constructed. It is also close to Centro and to school/s.
2.4. Topography:
The area is not much level, also, the area is lower than the road level so it will
need dumping or landfilling within the said area.
2.5: Accessibility:
The location has access to major roads such as Almeda Highway.
2.6. Zoning:

2.3. Summary
Based on the photographs, the site is below the road level so it needs some
dumping of soil. In terms of accessibility, it is accessible through the Almeda Road.
Another good thing about the site is its close to some of the commercial buildings,
schools, malls, cars repair shops, banks, etc. .It is concluded that this property is the best
location for building the condominium.
CHAPTER 3: MARKETING ANALYSIS
3.1. Overview
This section provides information on the market trends and conditions impacting
the study of building the condominium in Diversion, Naga City. The purpose of this
study is to help in analyzing the trend and conditions that will be referenced in this study.
3.2. Market Condition
Naga City has a population determined by the 2020 Census to have 209,170 with
the population density computed at 2,702 inhabitants per square kilometer. Naga is an
ideal location for companies looking for opportunities in the regional markets.
Households have an annual income that is 42% and 126% higher than the Philippine and
Bicol averages, respectively. 43.7% of household expenditures are for food and
beverages (naga.gov.ph).
Naga City is known as the "Heart of Bicol". According to the Asian Development
Bank (ADB), the economy rate in Naga City has increased at an average rate by 6.5
annually from 1993 to 1998. 3 new banks have opened in the city every 2 years since
1988 and now has 54 banks.
3.3. Market Area
Due to the location of the proposed project. It is expected that more than average buyers
may buy because of the fact that the unit as it is quite convenient for them as it is close to
shopping malls, markets, schools, banks, church and other stores like car repair shop,
laundry shop, etc.
3.4. Market Strategy
3.4.1. Finding target market
Every individual has a different kind of taste and so they do in properties. Some
like small but efficient spaces while others prefer big spaces. It is a matter of choice in
finding the target market. For a condominium, finding buyers who are willing to buy a
unit in your condo can be done by selecting the right target of people who are willing to
invest. One of the targets you can find is a young or small family, as well as young
couples who are just starting out and want a room that's reasonable and big enough for
them. Another target are people with financial means of any different age and jobs. In
addition, you can think about investors who are willing to buy more units for the purpose
of reselling or renting them to others.
3.4.2. Find ways to attract audience
Having a good plan on how to attract an audience is a good chance to get a
customer who is willing to buy a unit. In order for them to be attracted, the condominium
should be attractive in the eyes, such as good pictures of the condominium having an eco-
friendly condo, a presentation that will make them think the first time they saw it. Also,
having something unique or something special in your condominium.
3.4.3. Social media advertisement
Using social media as a means to advertise is a good idea in our time. Most people
go and look for properties on the Internet. It is good to take advantage of this to promote
and find potential buyers online. All you need is to make your condominium look
appealing and make people want to buy them online so as to get potential customers.
Another one is having a good webpage for your condominium where inquiries can be
held anytime by any means.
CHAPTER 4: PLANNING AND DESIGN
4.1.Plan
Ground Floor Plan
Floor Plan
4.2. Rain Water Filter
Rainwater can be harvested in many ways. Having stored rainwater can be used
for flushing toilets, used for washing machines, for washing vehicles, watering the plants,
irrigating or spraying crops etc. Another good part of having this is to reduce water bills.
When you collect water from the roof and you want it to not get smelly and sour, we will
filter it. Before it goes to the water tank, there is a process of filter so that the output of
the water is clean as well and ready for storing it in how many days it takes there. The
filter will be replaced for about 1 year for it to be clean again.
A Filter with a stainless steel mesh will be used to filter the water to at least 1mm
(1000 micron). Another part that will be needed is a calmed inlet which is a simple
device that ensures that the water coming into the tank jets upwards from the bottom of
the tank and oxygenates the water above the sediment without actually disturbing the
settled debris. The natural movement of the water above the Calmed Inlet when it rains is
enough to keep the water oxygenated. An Overflow Siphon installed at the high water
level in your tank and has a short horizontal slot in it's design so that the light particles
fall into it when the water reaches that height. It is self-cleaning as it acts as an overflow
too - any excess rainwater will flow out of the tank at this point too and back down your
downpipe or to Waste (celticwater.com).
Rain Harvesting is an effective way to limit the environmental damage caused by
stormwater runoff. By collecting the vast majority of the water that lands on your roof,
rain harvesting keeps this water out of stormwater and thus out of our waterways
(rainharvesting.com).
CHAPTER 5: CONCLUSION
We therefore conclude that pushing to build a condominium in Diversion Naga
City is feasible. First reason is the space of the land, suitable for our condominium
project, can be planted with trees and plants, and good surroundings too . It is
recommended as there are some advantages that are mentioned in the study. Building in
the area is good because it is accessible as roads are available.
