Framing is ongoing, Building framing is at 3rd level. Contractor has questions about unit and cooridor separation due to how the wall and ceiling framing of bathroom/entry is being done. The separation gypsum above ceiling needs to be installed prior to the framing install for sub trades to start installation of electrical and plumbing. The gypsum will have to have a panel section left out for the trades to run their systems and firestop their systems, and reinstalled when inspections at completed. This is this will work with how the building is designed.

Stopped by project to go over framing details with contractor and answer questions. Any framing changes or modifications will need to be gone through by architect/ engineer for code compliance and any changes be submitted to city for plan review and code compliance. The original plans are what has been approved by architect and city plan review. Framing contractor needs to build to these plans and no deviations from design should take place unless those resubmitted changes have been approved by city plan review.
