I have done a lot of plans review, but have not seen any that include an "interim" exit plan where a building addition will occlude existing exits for some duration.
Building is a school, in session. Local fire chief contacted me re contractor's query about the permissibility of interim elimination of an exit. It would create more dead end and longer path of common travel than codes allow. I agreed with fire chief that contractor/architect will have to devise a plan for temporary exit.
Anyone here see such an interim plan before?
