• • Mr. Lane Law Lane Law Firm, PLLC Plan Check Number: CW1910-001, Building Permit Review January 22, 2020 The structural design for the proposed project has been reviewed for compliance with the provisions of the 2015 International Building Code (IBC). Structural systems for single-family dwellings may be performed per the provisions of the 2015 International Residential Code (IRC) when the proposed construction complies the scope limitations and prescriptive requirements therein. See IRC Section R101.2 and R301.1. However, portions of the structural design do not appear to comply with the limitations of the IRC. Alternatively, structural systems not complying with the IRC may be designed per the provisions of the IBC. See IRC Sections R301.1.1 and R301.1.3. This is the basis for the structural review. The building official is required to review construction documents for compliance with the provisions of the building code per IRC Section R104.2 and IBC Section 104.2. IRC Section 106.1.1 and IBC Section 107.2.1 require construction documents to be of sufficient clarity to indicate the location, nature, and extent of the work proposed, and show in detail that it will conform to the provisions of the building code. IBC Sections 1603.1, 1604.1, and 1604.4 provide additional requirements to specify and substantiate the structural design. The structural design does not fully comply with these requirements. Reference the review comments in the attached letter dated January 7, 2020, for clarification of the remaining deficiencies. Work prepared by a licensed professional is not exempt from the code review process. IRC Section 106.1 and IBC Section 107.1 require construction documents to be prepared by a registered design professional where required by the statutes of the jurisdiction. Structural work performed per the provisions of the IBC is required to bear the seal and signature of a licensed Washington State design professional with expertise in structural engineering. This is required based on the scope of the project and does not supersede the review process. See the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) Sections 18.08.410(7) and 18.43.010, and the Washington Administrative Code (WAC) Section 196-23-020. If you have any questions or require additional clarification, please contact us. Respectfully, Drew Martin, P.E., S.E.
