Bill, While the applicable codes and standards may not explicitly spell out "as builts" the language of codes and standards gets you to that point where a deviation occurs from the approved plans.
Think about it this way, you submit plans and calcs and receive approval and a permit to install the job. The permit is only valid for the work approved, so a deviation essentially invalidates the permit. Fortunately the code(s) give the code official quite abit of latitude in this area. Check out 2002 NFPA-13 14.1.2, 2006 IBC 901.2, 901.3, 2006 IFC 901.2 and 901.2.1. This position is also supported in NJ pursuant to the NJ Uniform Construction Code, N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.23(i)6. (Certificate Requirements-Application) which states; "A set of amended drawings, if required by the construction official and the appropriate subcode officials when the dimensions, layout or appearance of the building or structure deviates substantially from the released plans and specifications filed with the construction permit application".

I know 99.9% of the systems are installed exactly like the shop drawings. But, for that other 0.1%, is it necessary to do an as-built calculation to match the as-built drawing? It seems NFPA 13 is based on the 99.5% and is silent about what documentation is required when field changes occur during installation. Bill Brooks William N. Brooks, P.E.
