Messageif designed under FBC-B then the request for construction type is valid

I see no reason for saying the Design is under FBC-B instead of FBC-R
unless they are thinking of converting to another use in the future.
It would be easier to just add whatever specs you want to including the fire sprinklers.

  Subject: [Florida Code Talk] Applicable Codes Indicated by DesignProfessional


  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.

  Rob Harrell

  (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.)
