COURT / CEBUOne court, well planned

05 / RESEARCH NOTES

Check the source. Check the assumption.

This guide separates published court rules, construction references, third-party price examples, and choices that still need a surveyed Cebu site and local advice.

Research snapshot: . Each entry below names the claims it supports and the limits on how to use it.

WHAT IS STILL UNKNOWN

Planning assumptions, not site facts.

No parcel has been surveyed, and the project's city or municipality is not yet known. The example figures help start a conversation; they cannot establish what will fit, what will be approved, or what the final work will cost.

  • Clear movement area: The default 34 × 64 ft (10.36 × 19.51 m) preferred area is a new-construction planning choice. The 30 × 60 ft (9.14 × 18.29 m) minimum is also shown for comparison.
  • Roof: The 38 × 68 ft (11.58 × 20.73 m) roof concept is an illustrative two-foot perimeter allowance beyond the preferred clear area, not a published requirement or structural design.
  • Images and 3D: The generated images and model are illustrative. The images do not clearly show the intended upper-net height; use the written fence note and default hybrid 3D view to understand the containment concept, not to set construction dimensions.
  • Professional and local review: Final civil, structural, wind, drainage, accessibility, fire, and permit decisions require the actual site, licensed local professionals, and the relevant local offices.
  • Price: AEDO's bands are a third-party Philippine market benchmark, not an official rate, local Cebu quote, or full venue budget. Confirm scope, exclusions, and prices with local contractors.

Start by confirming the lot and jurisdiction, then take the concept layout, budget assumptions, and local checklist to the people who can survey, design, review, and quote the real project.
