Hello All,
 
A design professional called  me this morning.  He mentioned that he
prepared a set of plans wherein he indicated that a new SFR would comply
with the FBCB, FBCM, FBCP, and NEC...rather than FBCR.  A plan review
comment was issued that told the DP to change the plans to indicate FBCR
as the applicable code.  Question: Does the DP have the right to design
a SFR under the FBCB, and the other codes mentioned herein, provided
that plans show compliance with such codes?  DP said that he is butting
heads with plans examiner on this issue...so he would like a little
feedback from the DG.  Any and all replies on this topic will be greatly
appreciated.  Thanks.

(Interestingly, the DP also said that plans examiner is requesting a
statement on the construction drawings that proposed house is Type VB
construction. No specific code section from FBCR was cited.)
