IRC2006 R313 is enforced on the one and two family dwellings. And I have had a couple $60,000. kitchen remods, they handled the smoke detector requirement when the walls were open with no issues. Had a basement garage drywall tear off due to a water leak and they removed drywall in a main floor closet, hardwired smokes kicked in because they can get to the attic from the basment and utilize the closet to run NM to the attic. Keep in mind detectors can be installed on walls if possible.

PC inspector: big change in 2009 actually: hardwired interconnected smokes whenever a permit (except for exterior work only) required as if it was a new structure.. if I'm recalling my significant changes correctly... of course, I loaned them out yesterday...
