What codes does Aedo Construction use for structural design?

All structural designs follow the National Structural Code of the Philippines (NSCP 2015), AISC 360-10 for steel design, and NSCP 2015 Chapter 4 (follows ACI 318-14) for reinforced concrete. We cross-check every project against the current ASEP-published NSCP provisions.

What types of structures has Aedo designed?

We have designed cockpit arenas with long-span steel trusses, 5-storey office buildings with basements, multi-storey parking structures, industrial factory buildings (Coca-Cola Davao), commercial buildings, and dozens of residential structures across the Philippines.

Do you handle both seismic and wind load analysis?

Yes. Every project is checked against both seismic base shear per NSCP §208 and wind loads per NSCP §207A-207B, and the design is built for whichever governs. For tall or critical structures we also run response spectrum dynamic analysis.

How do I request a structural design quote?

For a new building, send your architectural plans, lot location, floor area and number of storeys to aedoengineering@gmail.com or through the inquiry form. Structural design is PHP 7,500 up to 150 sqm and PHP 50 per sqm after that, delivered in 3 working days. For an existing building, start with the Structural Assessment (from PHP 10,000, by floor area).

Structural Design Services

Structural design in the Philippines,
built to NSCP 2015.

Q: Can you do structural investigation of existing buildings?

Yes — forensic structural investigation, retrofit recommendations, and value engineering of existing structures are part of our consultancy service.

Q: What does 3 working days mean?

The 3 working days start once we have your final architectural plans, lot location, soil investigation results (required from two storeys up under NSCP 2015 Sec. 303.1; for a one-storey building on ordinary ground we can use the Table 304-1 presumptive value after the site has been inspected, Sec. 304.2) and the 60% downpayment. It covers regular buildings up to 3 storeys and 500 sqm; larger or irregular buildings get their own schedule. If the design changes midway, the 3 days restart. We take a limited number of 3-day jobs each week so the promise holds.

Rigorous, code-compliant structural engineering for residential, commercial, and industrial projects — seismic, wind, concrete, steel, and foundation — sealed by a licensed engineer who uses field-tested tools on every job. Sealed plans and report in 3 working days, from ₱7,500.

Watch a structure come together

From footing to finished frame

Scroll to assemble a structure the way we engineer it — each stage proven against NSCP 2015 before the next begins.

01 · Foundation

Site & footings

Footings sized to carry the structure safely into the soil — bearing capacity checked first.

02 · Gravity path

Columns rise

Vertical load path established — every gravity load now has a route down to the foundation.

03 · Framing

Beams tie the frame

Beams lock the columns into a moment frame — the lateral system for seismic §208 & wind §207.

04 · Diaphragms

Floor slabs

Slabs act as diaphragms, distributing loads across the whole frame and bracing every level.

05 · Sealed

Code-compliant & complete

Full NSCP 2015 analysis — gravity, seismic and wind — sealed by a licensed engineer, permit-ready.

How we analyze your structure

Every building, four ways — tap a load type

We don't just draw a frame. We prove it survives every force the NSCP requires. Explore how each load travels through a structure:

Scope of work

What's included

Gravity load analysis

Dead and live loads per NSCP §204–205.

Seismic base shear

Equivalent lateral force & response spectrum per §208.

Wind load design

Per §207A–207B for any building exposure category.

Reinforced concrete

Beams, columns, slabs & shear walls per NSCP 2015 Chapter 4 (follows ACI 318-14).

Structural steel

Members & connection details per AISC 360-10.

Foundation engineering

Isolated, combined, mat & pile foundations.

Structural investigation →

Assessment, forensic analysis & retrofit of existing buildings.

Value engineering

Design optimization that cuts cost without cutting safety.

Deliverables

What you get for the building permit

The Office of the Building Official wants two things from the structural engineer: plans signed and sealed by a licensed civil engineer, and the analysis and computations behind them. You get both.

Foundation plan

Footing sizes, depths, rebar and tie beams.

Framing plans

Column grid, beam sizes and slab thickness, floor by floor.

Column & beam schedules

Member sizes per level, top and bottom bars, stirrup spacing.

Details & general notes

Splices, hooks and connections. This is where most site errors start.

Structural computations

Load analysis, seismic §208 and wind §207 checks, member design. The part the OBO reviews.

Signed & sealed

By a PRC-licensed civil engineer, ready to file with the rest of your permit set.

To book a 3-day slot, send the architectural plans, the location, floor area, number of storeys and intended use. Soil investigation results are required from two storeys up (NSCP 2015 Sec. 303.1). For a one-storey building on ordinary ground, we can design on the Table 304-1 presumptive value after the site has been inspected (Sec. 304.2). New to this? Read how a building goes from 3D model to sealed drawings and what structural engineers charge.

We design for projects anywhere in the Philippines. We only build in Negros Oriental; elsewhere your local contractor builds from our drawings and we can oversee the work remotely.

Who designs and seals it

The engineer behind the seal

Engr. J. Abuyabor, CE — PRC #0125154

Licensed Civil Engineer and founder of AEDO Construction OPC. Specializes in NSCP 2015 structural design, seismic and wind load analysis, and design-build construction management. Based in Negros Oriental, with design work delivered nationwide.

One name on the seal, answerable for it

Your structural plans and computations are signed and sealed by a PRC-licensed civil engineer, as Section 14 of RA 544 requires. The engineer who seals the set is accountable for the design in it.

Codes the calculations are checked against

NSCP 2015 for loads, seismic and wind; NSCP Chapter 4 (following ACI 318) for concrete; AISC 360 for steel. Not decoration — they are what the computations submitted with your permit are checked against.
