Design Professional Checklists: Sprinkler
Regardless of how the project work is portioned out, administration of the work remains the responsibility of the Registered Design Professional (RDP) who is the Applicant of Record (Applicant) in responsible charge or has verified Code and Zoning compliance of the drawings and installations for the project. Although there may be some specific projects that do not involve architectural or structural work, which may be completed by other professionals, it is important that the RDP maintain control of the entire project.
This section contains a list of tasks that provide compliance with the Construction Codes and other regulations discussed in the Project Guidelines.
Checklists include:
Prior to Application Approval Checklist
- Provide ‘reference only’ documents of legal existing conditions. These will speed up the plan review process for work by reducing the back and forth comments and correspondence.
- Show fire-rated walls on all architectural, mechanical, electrical, sprinkler and/or plumbing drawings, and the associated fire rated penetration details as required to facilitate the plan review process.
- Based on the scope of work of the project, include all applicable Special and/or Progress Inspections.
- Minimize prior-to-permit submittals to avoid construction delays.
- Although the RDPs are only required to show the final construction documents, the Applicant of Record should stamp and sign all formal submittals to the Department to demonstrate he/she has exercised responsible charge as required.
