Abstract
Ceilings and floors are an important part of any building in terms of energy conservation, performance and cost. As it is known that the initial stage of construction, which is the stage of building the basic structure of the building, represents the equivalent of about 35-40% of the cost of the building, so it was necessary to study the construction systems that help reduce the cost of this stage, especially the ceilings and floors. Ceilings are considered one of the basic structural elements of buildings. The costs spent on these elements during the construction phase represent about 8-11% of the total cost of the project, so it has become necessary to resort to innovative solutions that rationalize these costs. The study aims to explore the least expensive system used in ceilings and floors of buildings by comparing A set of systems for the construction of concrete ceilings and floors common locally; this was done through the modeling of an existing case study according to the construction systems common locally (cast on-site, prefabricated construction of various types) and thus limiting the costs achieved for ceilings and floors in order to explore the least expensive system.
