As You know I'm fairly new to the building codes,
The retired building inspector always required hurricane clips on all structures in our Jurisdiction. Now I have a contractor that is telling me that its not required per code. He has installed blocking at the truss to help with the up wind as required by code. These are stick built Truss members and not pre-engineered with a gusit plate. So I can't find anything stating specifically about wind clips of such. Just a Fastener Schedule for structural Members Table R602.3 in the IRC.
Also does any one have any checklist references that you may use or have used in the past to do your inspections by in all disciplines.
Any Help would be appreciated.
