No permits required, can be disassembled and moved to another location more easily. They do have industrial versions of these "portable" offices that you can buy but they cost significantly more than a garden shed.
- brudgers 11y agoAsk the fire marshal about permits.
- calbear81 11y agoI believe that if it's classified as "furniture" then it doesn't need to be permitted. For example, this is just a bigger version of a wardrobe in your office.
- brudgers 11y agoA fire marshal will typically listen politely to your beliefs [when not actively engaged in an emergency] then will keep you from putting people's lives at risk via such nonsense. Depending on your and their demeanor, you may get grandfatherly tones of wisdom; you may get bureaucratic handoff to the building department for their approval; or even a flat out "not in this town". Seismic, egress, accessibility, sprinkler coverage, cumbustability, flame spread, smoke developed, UL listing etc. all come into play because people's niave intuition does not conform to actual life safety hazards, and it's not so much for the sake of styming your personal pursuit of a Darwin award as to prevent the answer to your implicit question "What could possibly go wrong?" from being answered via unfortunate events that result in other people dying.
- burger_moon 11y agoTypically temporary structures standing more than 90 days ( your municipality may vary) will require permits. I ran into this at a previous job when the "temporary" structure had exposed wires running through it instead of conduit. It can be a hazard to your employees and wallet if anything bad happens. In spite of that, it does sound like it could be an interesting solution.
