Statement of Special Inspection

Statement of Special Inspection

Statement of Special Inspection

(OP)
I've finally got a response back from the building dept. on the commercial project I have posted a few topics on recently.

Apparently I am missing a statement of special inspection as required by IBC ch. 17. The plans inspector suggested I just add a table to one of my drawing sheets to meet this requirement. I've done a little searching online for some sample statements and I noticed that most of these are separate rather large documents, some 10 plus pages. I am wondering if anyone has an resources, links or samples of a simple statement of special inspection for wood frame structures that I can study and utilize as a template.

The IBC clearly states that shearwalls and diaphragms with fastener spacing greater than 4" o/c is exempt (1705.10.1) so I am really not even sure if anything needs special inspections at all, I guess I'm a little confused with this requirement.

A confused student is a good student.

The municipality should have a form on-line. They're usually one page around here.

RE: Statement of Special Inspection

I typically send it as a separate document instead of putting in on the documents.

It is usually the one and only thing that I get as a permit comment. This allows me a bargaining chip for payment.

When I am working on a problem, I never think about beauty but when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong.
