Regulations for Constructing Standard Dormitories, with an Example of a 4-Story Building Project

Constructing dormitories according to standards is essential to ensure residents’ comfort and safety. It also enhances the value and credibility of the project owner. This article explains the important regulations for dormitory construction, along with an example of a 4-story dormitory project designed with safety and sustainable usability in mind.

Regulations for Standard Dormitory Construction

1. Legal Requirements

The construction of dormitories must comply with building control laws, starting with applying for a construction permit from local authorities, such as the Subdistrict Administrative Organization (SAO) or the municipality. The project owner must prepare essential documents, including building plans, environmental impact assessment reports (if required), and land ownership documents.

Additionally, the construction must comply with regulations regarding building setbacks, parking space allocation, and common areas, especially in high-traffic areas. Proper planning of these.

Example from the project:

This project complies with all legal requirements, such as submitting construction permits, maintaining proper distances from neighboring areas, and arranging common areas appropriately. In addition, parking spaces and public walkways have been provided to ensure convenience and safety for residents.

2. Structural and Material Requirements

The dormitory structure must be designed to be strong, durable, and capable of supporting long-term use. For buildings with a height of 4 floors, a licensed engineer must inspect and certify the safety of all structural components.

Construction materials must meet industry standards, such as high-quality reinforced concrete, corrosion-resistant structural steel, and materials that reduce heat, such as thermal insulation or reflective glass. In addition, materials that help reduce noise, such as soundproof walls and double-glazed windows, should also be used.

Example from the project:

The dormitory building structure in this project has been designed to support long-term load and usage. High-quality reinforced concrete and materials were selected, along with the installation of thermal insulation and soundproofing systems, to enhance comfort for residents.
