An aid to quicken the approval process of structural drawing at KCCA for typical residential buildings.

Abstract

Low-rise residential buildings are relatively easy to design with few variations from one building to another. This implies it is easy to verify that structural drawings are sufficient and conform to the KCCA standards. The approval system follows “first come first serve” methodology. The simple residential buildings are placed in the same cue as the complex structures yet the approval of these residential buildings takes much lesser time, in other words there is no segregation of files. The emphasis of this research was to quicken the approval process of structural drawings for typical 2-Storey residential buildings at KCCA using the aid that we developed. The structural elements considered were concrete beams and slabs.
