<DIV><SPAN class=734185213-16072010><FONT face="Courier New">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? </FONT></SPAN><SPAN
class=734185213-16072010><FONT face="Courier New">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.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

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.)</FONT></SPAN></DIV></BODY></HTML>
