While the project appears to not require sprinklers based upon proposed addition
and remodel, the project is close. Be advised where more than one (1) addition
and/or alteration for which building permits are required are made within a two (2)
year period and said alterations are made to the premises of the same occupant. In
such circumstances, the sum of these additions and/or alterations construction costs
during this two (2) year period shall be aggregated for the purpose of calculating the
replacement cost value formula. Final determination will be made and the plan
review phase of the project.
It is very important that you understand the threshold indicated by BMC §17.04.030.
Designer, contractor, and owner should communicate specifically the extent of
demolition and remodel. Keeping in mind any change orders and addendums
which increase the total amount of square footage added or remodeled after
plan review would be applied to the sprinkler ordinance.
