I know from reading the postings over time that you are all by-the-book enforcers.
Sometimes, however, to make a project work, it takes a little creative adaptation of the building code to make the final product safe and acceptable to all.
My question is, am I being unreasonable to request that the design professional include on the project's cover sheet a short description of the conclusion from the preliminary meeting between officials, owner, and designers? I am not always a fan of being creative but I insist on good documentation. A signed letter of agreement becomes too easily lost in a file and if it is on the cover sheet, the lawyers (gulp) will have an easy time finding it. I am getting tremendous pushback on this issue from the designer. Hey, there always is construction type 1A ....
Your thoughts, please.
