Dear Building Official,
The following is a list of the required special inspections and tests for the construction of the
new building and site improvements for the Core and Shell building located at 305-307 South
Mill St.. The General Contractor is responsible to become familiar with all requirements of
Chapter 17 of the 2015 International Building Code.
Certificates of compliance for the fabrication of structural, load-bearing or lateral load-resisting
members or assemblies on the premises of a registered and approved fabricator in accordance
with Section 1704.2.5.1.
Reports of material properties verifying compliance with the requirements of
AWS D1.4 for weldability as specified in Section 26.6.4 of ACI 318 for
reinforcing bars in concrete complying with a standard other than ASTM A706 that
are to be welded
Special inspections and nondestructive testing of structural steel
elements in buildings, structures and portions thereof shall be in
accordance with the quality assurance inspection requirements of AISC 360.
Special inspections and qualification of welding special inspectors for
cold-formed steel floor and roof deck shall be in accordance with the quality
assurance inspection requirements of SDI QA/QC.
