• Mr. Gary Medema Plan Check Number: B2307-032, First Building Review Letter September 25, 2023 Structural 1. The proposed project appears to include structural work. Structural drawings should be submitted as needed that include framing plans, sections, details, construction schedules, fastening schedules, materials requirements, general notes, etc. The drawings should substantiate compliance with the requirements of the IBC. See IBC Sections 107.2.1 and 1603.1. 2. Where a structural design is performed, structural drawings and calculations should be prepared by a professional engineer licensed in the state of Washington; the drawings and calculations should bear the seal and signature of the engineer. See RCW Sections 18.43.010, 18.43.020, and 18.43.070. The modified load paths should follow an engineered analysis and design. The framing and foundation plans, and structural calculations as required, should show a complete load path. See IBC Section 1604.1. 3. The proposed project appears to include the demolition of bearing and non-bearing walls. Framing plans for the floor, ceiling, and roof should be provided to substantiate that the walls are either load-bearing or not load-bearing. The plans should also include a note requiring the contractor to verify the walls are or are not load bearing prior to demolition. See IBC Section 1604.1. 4. Details for the construction of the new walls and header should be included. The details should specify connections for the top framing plates to the existing structure and how the new header is to frame into the new and existing walls. See IBC Sections 107.2.1 and 1603.1. 5. A fastener schedule should be provided per IBC Table 2304.10.1. Providing a reference to this table in the drawings does not satisfy this requirement. This review has been performed for general compliance with the building codes as adopted and amended by the state of Washington and the city of Everett. Corrections and comments made during the review process do not relieve the project from compliance with code and permit requirements. The designers-of-record are responsible for a complete design in accordance with the laws of the state of Washington. If you have any questions or require additional clarification, please contact us.
