tina1510,
AHJ means the "Authority Having Jurisdiction"........In this case
it is who will be reviewing your construction plans \ blueprints
and issuing the bldg. permit.
The wall bracing requirements of R602.10 also include a
fastening requirement to attach the exterior sheathing to the
studs [ i.e. - the connection criteria ].........Table R602.10.4 for
the CS-WSP method, the spacing of the fasteners is listed in
the last column, and the types of fasteners permitted is listed in
the "next to last column", which specifies Exterior Sheathing
to comply with Table R602.3(3).
I am assuming that the 22304 number in your location
means Virginia..........With that I am looking in the 2018
Virginia Residential Code.
Personally I would not rely on the Contractor for means &
methods.........I would want every detail and requirement
listed clearly in a written, enforceable contract, along with
what happens if the contractor does not comply with
the requirements, ...who pays for what, ...how long will
the contractor have to comply, etc.
You ARE going to have a written contract for this project
aren't you ?
