I know this will elicit a wide range of responses, based on location and size of jurisdiction, political support, etc.
The exception to 106.1 allows the building official to waive the submission of construction documents "if it is found that the nature of the work applied for is such that review of the construction documents is not necessary to obtain compliance with this code"
Under what circumstances would you be inclined to waive the submission of documents requirements?
In a shell space build-out with an OL < 30 and no changes to egress doors - only a few partition walls (no corridors, etc.)?
My understanding of our state's licensing statute is that if drawings are prepared, they must be prepared by a RDP. But if no drawings are required by the AHJ under the exception to 106.1, then it is not required that an RDP prepare plans?
Any input from the Land of Lincoln would be especially appreciated!
Happy New Year, fellow code wonks!!!
