JSADESIGNPRINCIPLES
DesignProgram It is our practice to make a carefully determined program brief in consort with the client. We would suggest that after nomination as Architect we would review the program and the site conditions closely with the client. JSA is equipped and proficient with design and communication by inhouse email and computerizedsystems. StructuralDesign Besides the above seismic concerns the desires for economy maximizing spans and adhering to appropriate codes and standards determine our structural design. In general because the National Building Code of Nepal is in process of finalization all structural design work is done as per the National BuildingCodeofIndiawithincorporationofBritishandAmericanstandards. SeismicDesign Nepal has a seismically sensitive environment and therefore all architectural designs and building activityshouldbeconductedwithstrictadherencetoprevailingseismicprinciplesassetbytheNational BuildingCodeofIndia.
