Hope the thread title did not confuse anyone
Maybe?So what is the building code issue?
Apparently it fell down. And you Sir, are the only person here that would ask such a lame question.So what is the building code issue?
That is what I picked up on.....Crane operators used to be like airplane engineers and mechanics...Oh wait...Maybe they still are...They were around what she described as a crane folded in half and a building collapsed into the shape of an 'M.'
I used to ride the headache ball to reach a perch where I could see the operator and the load. I still remember the hand signals.That is what I picked up on.....Crane operators used to be like airplane engineers and mechanics...Oh wait...Maybe they still are...

He is often correct when he rains on the parade. So what? That doesn’t make him any less cynical.So Mark was entirely correct

Not necessarily....per my post#3 and:temporary bracing of roof trusses during construction -- are both outside the purview of the building code.
Not necessarily....per my post#3 and:
2211.1.3.2 Trusses Spanning 60 Feet or Greater
The owner, the owner's authorized agent or the contractor shall contract with a qualified registered design professional for the design of the temporary installation restraint/bracing and the permanent individual truss member restraint/bracing for trusses with clear spans 60 feet (18 288 mm) or greater. Special inspection of trusses over 60 feet (18 288 mm) in length shall be in accordance with Section 1705.2.
If it's not the crane, it's the engineers fault....
Yes it is; well very similar anyways. Appears to be minor changes.Not in IBC 2021. That's a state-added amendment.
Funny but I look at this and wonder why everyone seems to assume and rdp was hired to do this. Hopefully we'll know in time.The owner, the owner's authorized agent or the contractor shall contract with a qualified registered design professional

I was with you right up until you started going over the "required" information.Among the biggest headaches our department has is getting special inspectors to do special inspections and to submit reports. It is UNusual for a first submission of construction documents for commercial permits to even include a statement of special inspections. Then, when we finally receive it, at least half the time it's not signed and sealed, and probably doesn't describe whether the required special inspections are to be periodic or continuous. And then, they usually omit designating who the special inspections coordinator will be -- and sometimes they don't even list any of the special inspectors.
Why even bother submitting the form if you're going to omit 75% of the required information?
Where I depart from your description, is the design professional preparing the statement of SI should not include a designation of who the special inspector coordinator will be - - I am not sure who this person would be and what their role is, but the SI firm is responsible for providing reports to the AHJ and EoR. As for listing who the SI will be, again, not the responsibility of the design professional.
STRUCTURAL OBSERVATION. The visual observation
of the structural system by a registered design professional
for general conformance to the approved construction
documents.
Ok, so you disagree based upon something that your state does. That makes more sense.I disagree. IBC 107.1 lists the statement of special inspections as a required part of the construction documents. That has to be prepared, sealed, and signed by the applicable RDP.
IBC 107.3.4 then requires that some registered design professional be designated to act as the "registered design professional in responsible charge" of the project. This doesn't have to be the EOR and, in fact, it is more commonly the architect. In any case, this section of the IBC specifically provides that all of the design team may bow out during construction, in which case the owner must designate someone else to act as the RDPIRC. But that's still not the special inspections coordinator. To find that we have to jump into chapter 17.
Nothing I can find in chapter 17 requires the EOR to act as the special inspections coordinator. That's a different role than "structural observations," as defined by the code and as required in sections other than those pertaining to special inspections.
Our state building inspector still promulgates and recommends using the CASE Form 101 Statement of Special Inspections form. The cover page on that form includes a space for designating the special inspections coordinator. Design professionals are allowed to use other forms, but the other forms must include the same information that's called for on the CASE Form 101.
