In the event of a code conflict the more restrictive code shall apply. The proposed building has been designed as a stable structure to resist the design loads listed below. The contractor is responsible for such measures as are necessary to temporarily support partial and incomplete portions of the work until such time that the entire structure is complete. All structural members shall be continuous unless specifically detailed and/or approved by the engineer. Contractor to verify existing and proposed building dimensions prior to construction and shall notify the engineer of any discrepancies. Contractor may propose alternate connection designs to the engineer for review and approval. This design covers the structural stability of the proposed building. Any item not specifically addressed or detailed within these plans shall be designed by others. Architectural layout and features are to be designed by others. James a. Sewell & assoc. Is not responsible for compliance with non-structural requirements of the building code (layout, ingress, egress, insulation, waterproofing, etc).
