WelcomeWell, it appears that there is a lot of good information in here, so I just signed up as a sawhorse member. I'm an Architect licensed since 1988, and in private practice since 2000. I am most familiar with Houston and it's codes, but I do work occasionally in other cities in Texas. Most of my work is commercial/industrial Type II or Type III buildings, and mostly under 20,000 SF/floor.I look forward to learning the insights and the though processes that an AHJ uses to determine code intepretations.
Also, since Houston just upped their code to 2012 IBC (amended) I need to reduce my learning curve on that.
I look forward to meeting you all.
Cheers.
Glad Houston finally got a building code!!!
