Yung corner columns, maitatayo ba kung ganyan ang direction ng bends? Stirrups look ok.

The structure design is typical for a bungalow (except for the use of 8mm as stirrups) and if we could surmise that the weight of the slab is close to the weight of trusses and GI roof if it was a bungalow, then it’d be well and good.

Consider reducing the thickness of the slab to reduce the load on the beams and columns. You save more by doing so and make the structure “safer” for the present occupants (but not for people who would use and probably modify its use later).

You will also use a significant amount of GI wire.

Concrete mix is 1:2:4 (cement: sand: gravel) by volume

Left columns: 8 x 16mm, right columns: 6 x 16mm (overdesigned yung 7)
Footings: 1m x 1m, depth of 1.5m is ok
Beams: Yung 2 pcs na 7 x 16mm, you could reduce these to 2 pcs 6 x 16mm
Slab: ok, or as discussed

Kindly check if the final specs is correct and complete.

Consider placing a stiffener beam across the left and right beams. Your beam structure would look like an ocho. Without this stiffener beam (4 x 12mm), papagpag yung slab mo pag nag-jumping jack ka. The sizes I mentioned presume that the “roof deck” would, in the future, become a room with a GI roof above it.
