- The mezzanine floor slab will be cast in place and supported monolithically with the rest of the high-strength structural mesh its thickness 15cm.
- In institutional area with column structures, valuating earthquake resistance in the whole structure and considering in the whole hospital, the isolation specifications formwork with fixed walls closing in specific sites for purposes that require it.
- The roof is finished in stone, as in institutional and commercial areas the slab center is a second floor, for workshops and enclosures drywall will be used and will have finishes similar to the apartments, except for the type of cover, which will have thermic isolation and other environmental characters to counter the use of air conditioning in those sectors.

- It is worth mentioning that the entire structural system of the complex was calculated and studied by a civil engineer calculator, taking into account the ground conditions to support this structure.

SANITARY FACILITIES (Rain Water and Waste water)
These health facilities were designed and calculated under Sanitary Standards for optimum performance in the apartments. The type of material is designed and recommended in the following way:
RAIN WATER: PVC accessories and PVC Pipe joints of excellent quality and supported by the engineering Colombian society, indicated in the construction plans diameters.
WASTE WATER: PVC pipe fittings and PVC joints with the identified diameters in the construction plans, under the same selection conditions of the previous item.
