"reconfigured spaces as indicated on the plans"brudgers said:I think you are missing the difference.Work area is defined solely by what is indicated on the construction documents.
The code provides no other way of determining it.
And, therefore, using any other method to determine the work area besides looking at the construction documents to see what is indicated is not in compliance with the code, and therefore absent a modification to the model code by local ordinance, making a determination of the work area which is different from what is indicated on the plans is not within the building official's purview.
Work area is not indicated on the plans. Reconfigured spaces are. It does not say who determines what the reconfigured spaces are.
