It will depend on the building code for your area, and under which part of it the building comes under. Certainly not NFPA. I can only comment on the building code that governs my area. It does not apply to all buildings. But for those buildings it does, then the engineer's involvement is mandatory. Also, you can have cities that may require engineer's involvement even in those cases that the building code doesn't.

I know the owner/builder is not required to have a C16 (California lic.) so why would he be required to have the engineers stamp? Thank you for your input.
