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.
