Greetings,
New here. I have a project I have been working on for the last 2.5 years. We are near completion and my structural engineer has a few recommended changes that will meet code and also allow us to finish the project earlier. Building Inspection doesn't like the changes, but continually refuses to cite any code that these changes would not meet. It appears either he does not have the time to do the research or is just a stick in the mud and personally prefers the other option. Both options do the same thing, the better option moves water away from the foundation whereas the first option (which BI likes) deliberately draws water to the crawlspace, a sump and pump underneath the property. along with drain tile on both sides of the footings.
Irregardless of the various options, I have a stamped drawing from a degreed structural engineer with decades of experience. Who wins this epic battle between and inspector(not PE but certified inspector) and the PE.
