There are a lot of reasons why this drawing can't be approved. What do you see? BTW they are replacing a 3' spiral staircase (not shown) with a 6' staircase. Submitted by a licensed engineer.

Appears to be non-prescriptive (non-IRC) construction. Uses steel columns, pre-manufactured wood trusses, diaphragms, etc. Cannot tell if a registered design professional has prepared/stamped.

Beyond that, need supporting design calculations. Plan is blurry, so I can't decipher all the notes and dimensions. Don't see flashing or other architectural details.

It is interesting to note the IEBC references.
 
Not a structural guy but . . .

Detail 3 is referenced, but not provided.
No railing details provided - height, spacing, materials, connection details.
New steel column called out but no footing beneath it. Perhaps reusing existing. No connection details or specs provided.
No flooring material or specs indicated.

But the biggest red flag I see is the single door at the existing bath labeled as an existing double door.
 
Detail 21 calls for new conc pad at exit steel column. But the new pad does not appear on the new foundation plan.
