Hello, new to the forum, had a couple questions, would really appreciate any help.
We are going to build a new two story building in front of our current wood single story typical wood construction building. It will be separated slightly and filled in to appear as one construction. It is going to be a pre-engineered structural frame, with exterior metal stud with sheathing and stucco, and interior bearing wood framing with gypsum x type, wood floor trusses for second story floor supported by the interior wood. Second story will be only for storage.
1. This is VA type construction if fire rated walls and ceilings are used?
2. Does second story need to have two exits if it is only used for storage? 1000 square feet storage.
3. Classification is Business even with the storage being that size, bottom floor is a lobby.
Thank you!
