Question

1 multiple choice 1 point a client insists on using wood framing for a four - storey residential project. which nbcp concern must the architect address? timber may be used only in buildings less than three storeys high. all residential buildings above two floors must be reinforced concrete. wood framing is acceptable if at least 50% is treated with fire - retardant coatings. type iv and v construction allow wood, but height limits and occupancy restrictions may disqualify its use.

Explanation:

In building codes like NBCP (National Building Code of the Philippines), Type IV and V construction allow wood - framing but have height and occupancy restrictions. For a four - storey residential project, these restrictions may rule out wood framing. The first option is too simplistic as it doesn't consider all construction types allowing wood. The second option is incorrect as not all multi - storey residential buildings must be reinforced concrete. The third option about fire - retardant coatings is not the main concern here compared to height and occupancy restrictions.

Answer:

Type IV and V construction allow wood, but height limits and occupancy restrictions may disqualify its use.
