A secret of plans review at AHJ
It is always a great thing for designers and building owners to have their plans approved by the AHJ, but one thing the plans reviewer would never tell us is what is not required on the plans.
Recently, there was a 4 unit rowhouse. The contractor asked me if it is sufficient for him to provide sprinklers in the basement only. After reviewing the approved plans, I found the designer specified that the whole building will be sprinklered. I am speechless. No one plans reviewer at the AHJ would tell us that more than $60k for the sprinkler system is not required for this building.
