If most are unaware of it, is it then good practice (aka insurance) for you to cite the relevant codes in your plans, in order to avoid trouble by inspectors due to the differences, or is it safe to expect an inspector to know the codes A-Z?
- abduhl 10y agoInspectors do not typically check plans and calculations for adherence to the code, they check whether the work matches the plans. Checks for whether the plans match the code are generally done by the reviewing agency, to varying degrees of effort. For example, an agency will check for adherence to their design manuals (which are the governing code for their work): Caltrans against their manuals, railroads against AREMA, building departments against the building code, etc. And yes, it is good practice to cite the code as appropriate but it isn't necessary - any questions by the agency will be sent as comments and approval will not be granted until they are satisfied.
