Notes
Life safety information in this checklist is arranged under the titles of the drawings on which the information would normally be placed. Basic information required to determine type of construction, fire-resistance ratings and fire separations is listed under general. The arrangement of information is suggested only; the architect should modify where information is placed to suit the requirements of documenting the project. This checklist is limited to information which is shown or detailed on drawings; it does not include items which are normally included in the specifications.
Some items are the primary responsibility of the appropriate consulting engineers. These items are noted under relevant drawing titles as a reminder to the architect to coordinate and verify that the information is shown on relevant engineering drawings.
Comments, clarifications, or recommendations are in italics.
Use of a forward slash (/) signifies and or or.
“As prescribed” indicates that relevant/more detailed requirements should be reviewed in the applicable building code or other regulations of authorities having jurisdiction.
