Yes I know, we typically issue them as revisions. It is being tossed around that we remove the stamp and send them out unstamped as a review set and then put a new stamp and date with any revisions as if we never issued the original stamped set. It just doesn't seem right to be to have two...
We have a new PM at work that refused to run our project by our company's guidelines and ended up getting is in a pickle. We typically need to issue a set that is a final look by the client to verify that we have picked up all of their comments before we IFC. Instead of providing this set, she...
I am looking into a thermal issue for an existing residential (low-rise) structure. I am trying to find whether or not BOCA 1984 covered residential structures also or if there was a separate residential code like there is now. I am unable to find any references to residential codes online...
It is for an office building so the base plates need to be covered. I was not the engineer who selected the system during proposal so I am stuck with it. The column footings and the slab will be monolithic similar to a mat except not a constant thickness. With that being said, typical isolation...
