Do not forget you will need to put a complete code summary on your cover sheet when submitting your building permit application package.
A client came to us last week for help because the reviewer would not begin the review process until the code summary was in the submittal documents.A complete set of documents should have a code summary on the cover sheet of the drawings showing the current codes used to design the project. Most jurisdictions will require some form of a code summary. It can be most easily found if it is on the cover sheet..
The summary should look like this;
Code Summary:
- 1997 Uniform Building Code
- 1997 Uniform Mechanical Code
- 1999 National Electrical Code
- 1997 Uniform Plumbing Code
- Occupancy Group B
- Type VN Construction
- One Story
- Allowable Stories = 2
- Area Square footage of building=7000
- Allowable Area = 8000 square feet
