You found the canopy 3 days prior to the CO inspection, and your design was for the building without the canopy? It sounds like there is a building official issue here where the owner has gone beyond approved construction drawings. I think this is the angle. Your design matches the scope of the permit drawings. Now the building is bigger and the bigger thing might not have been permitted.

The project super (and also church member) has adamantly refused to install sprinklers even though they are required. I have told him that they are needed by Code, buy he remains defiant. I assume that the AHJ would pick up on it during final inspection, but can't count on it. My plan is to write a letter to the church (my client) stating that protection is required by Code and is my best advice, but if they choose not to, I am not responsible for the consequences. How have others handled similar situations? The inspection for CO is schedules for Friday.
