🚀 Building Classification: The Soul of building Design 🏗️🔥

 🚀 Building Classification: The Soul of building Design 🏗️🔥


Did you know that building classification is the soul of building design? It dictates critical safety and cost decisions, yet many overlook its importance.


✅ Combustible construction allowed?

✅ Sprinkler system required?

✅ Fire resistance ratings for floor assemblies & load-bearing elements?

Get it right, and you save hundreds of thousands of dollars. Get it wrong, and you risk unnecessary costs.


Imagine spending $200k plus on a sprinkler system… only to later discover it wasn’t required by code. 💸


Whether you're an architect, engineer, or developer, understanding building classification isn’t just about compliance—it’s about smart, efficient design.
