Miscellaneous
The Plans are approved for structural design currently, however the below corrections must be resubmitted prior to us moving forward with issuance of the building permit.
1. We need Architectural details provided on the plans, on the floor plans every room must be labeled for intended use, such as kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, garage, mechanical room, family room, etc, the plans lack this currently.
2. Energy Code Items: You must on the floors call out and show us exactly what portions of the building will be heated/conditioned, or state all portions will be conditioned. Then I need you to review the document I uploaded to your permit called "Residential Checklist 2018 Prescriptive" your drawing need to provide us with vapor barrier information, then R-values for foundation insulation, underslab insulation, exterior wall insulation, and ceiling attic insulation, then also window and door U-Factors as well. Your drawings need to meet this prescriptive compliance method per the handout I provided you, or you may use RecCheck software online and then submit that for review if desired or if you cannot meet the prescriptive compliance method.
3. Whole House Ventilation: Explain how you intend to meet this, will you install an HRV, ERV system, or will you provide exhaust only per the IRC to meet whole house ventilation.
4. Label all bedrooms with Egress Windows, state egress window on the floor plans, also state Smoke/CO Detectors will be provide per code, then do you have any windows that fall into hazardous locations that require them to be tempered glass, if so label windows tempered on the plans.
5. Garage Space: It does appear there will be no garage, but if there is a garage then garage/dwelling separation details should be provided to us.
6. Exterior Roof: Currently you show R-40 insulation, our local code required R-49. Also you only state permafelt roofing underlayment, however if this is not an ice-n-water product, at minimum you have to install ice-n-water from the eave to a point of not less than 24" inside the exterior wall plumb up to the roof.
7. Roof Ventilation: How will the roof be ventilated.
8. Interior wall and ceiling finishes are not included, please include.
9. Radon information is not included, all new homes must have at minimum a radon system installed below the slab, and a vertical pipe extended above the slab and capped at minimum, along with a junction box or outlet in the close proximity to install a fan later if needed, please add these details.
10. Underslab vapor barrier, no information has been provided, not sure if the rigid insulation will provide a vapor barrier, or you need to add another product on top or below the insulation board.
