Greetings,
2012 IBC applicable
1704.1 states something to the effect that the design professional in responsible charge can act as the approved agency and their personnel can act as special inspectors for a project if the building official approve.
So if the registered design professional in responsible charge also happens to be an employee of the owner of the facility being built and inspected, would you as building officials accept that?
I am dubious about this. Personally, I am a master electrician. So to me it would be the same thing that I build an elect service (or whatever) and I inspect my own work. Now I am the best master electrician that I know of in the county and don't have an issue with my work. But I don't know about this P.E. I've already flagged them on life safety issues and I just don't know structural steel and such.
Have a Blessed weekend!
