SCOPE OF REVIEW:

The scope of this plan review covers architectural, plumbing, mechanical, energy conservation and electrical. All code references are to the 2018 International Residential Code and 2018 International Energy Conservation Code. All features were checked only to the extent allowed by the submittals provided. All portions of this project are assumed to meet or will meet other departmental requirements, conditions, and concerns before permit approval.

PROVIDE A COMPLETE PLAN SET showing all proposed alterations to the building with 2018 IRC code compliance. The plans require sufficient detail for demonstrating minimum building code compliance for passing all progress inspections.

Note the 2018 IRC reference on the plans.

Provide a response letter addressing each comment with location of change on the plans. Submit separate letter and plan set files.
