1. The valuation of work of $15,000 appears to be inadequate to the Routt County Regional Building Department (RCRBD). The valuation, or value, to be used in computing the building permit and building plan review fees shall be the total value of construction work for which the permit is issued, including electrical, plumbing, mechanical, finish work, painting, roofing, and any other permanent equipment, based on reasonable material and labor estimates – even if you have separate permits for duplexes when the value all of your materials for and labor for doing the work (even if this is yourself), you must assess a reasonable value to the work being done. RCRBD suggests $70000 for total, otherwise submit valuation worksheet for materials and labor for review. 2. Will the garage be heated? If so: A minimum of R-10 insulation is required from the top of the slab or concrete downward 48" without gaps. Above grade walls require a minimum of R-27 batt and ceiling requires R-49. Fenestration U-factors for windows and doors (include garage door if garage is heated) will be required to be indicated on the approved plans as per energy code path to compliance used. The builder shall leave the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) labels on all windows and doors with glazing at time of rough inspections so inspectors can verify the glazing requirements. 3. This building may contain structural elements that are either unconventional or exceed the prescriptive limitations of the code in particular the exterior walls of wood-frame construction shown with what appears as a single continuous top plate elevations acting as a hinge at approximately 8’-0 and not in accordance with Figures R602.3(1) and R602.3(2), or in accordance with AWC NDS, ceiling bracing or other methods of lateral load transfer for gable end-wall designed in accordance with the AWC WFCM or accepted engineering practice. Please clarify and note if this is intermediate blocking for plywood shear walls notes on Sheet S1 indicates sheathing is to be placed with 8’ dimension perpendicular to framing with end joints staggered requiring similar intermediate blocking at 4’and double top plate at top of wall.
