Presently working on a fit-up of a portion of an existing building for a dental office. Pretty straight forward - new partitions, mechanical to accommodate, electrical, etc. Nothing structural.
Should we be required to submit an A-2 and hire an engineer or architect to inspect the progress of this project?
The AHD seems to think so... His reasoning is that the entire existing building is over 600m2 in area, making it a part 3 building, so therefore we would need to hire an architect or engineer to oversee the project. But the project is only in a small portion of the building, and it isn't anything complicated or alters the structure in any way. Also, we recently completed a near identical project in a different building without the call for the A-2.
