Learning Activity Sheet No. 1: 2. Estimate The Materials Needed For The Job
I. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT:
This activity will introduce to you the planning of a bungalow residential building floor plan in preparation
for electrical wiring plan based on Philippine Electrical Code standards/requirements.
Bungalows are very convenient for the homeowner and that all living areas are on a single-storey and
there are no stairs between living areas. A bungalow is well suited to persons with impaired mobility, such
as the elderly or those in wheelchairs.
Neighborhoods of bungalows offer more privacy than neighborhoods with two-story houses. As
bungalows are one or one and a half stories, strategically, planted trees and shrubs are usually sufficient to
block the view of neighbors. With two-storey houses, the extra height requires much taller trees to accomplish
the same, and it may not be practical to place such tall trees close to the building to obscure the view from
the second floor of the next-door neighbor. Bungalows provide cost-effective residences. On the other hand,
even closely spaced bungalows make for quite low-density neighborhoods, contributing to urban sprawl. In
Australia, bungalows have broad verandas to shade the interior from intense sun. But as a result, they are
often excessively dark inside, requiring artificial light even in daytime.
On a per unit area basis (e.g. per square meter or per square foot), bungalows are more expensive to
construct than two-storey houses, because a larger foundation and roof area is required for the same living
area. The larger foundation will often translate into larger lot size requirements, as well. Due to this,
bungalows are typically fully detached from other buildings and do not share a common foundation or party
wall.

Believe it or not, not all bungalows are created equal. The bungalow home comes in many different
variations throughout the country.
