8.15.7.3 backs up your position Greg in stating the requirement of the sprinklers. If the exposed finish material is combustible then sprinklers are required.
The paragraph specifically mentions FINISH MATERIALS. Craig L.

We have a non-combustible structure with real wood plywood attached directly to the concrete for the ceiling. I believe there are also some boxing around the beams etc. We are saying it needs protection and he says it does not. He is requesting commentary for this. Does anyone have anything I can give him?
