I just had to put them in what I would technically call a two story
building. They had a two story clubhouse with a roof deck area. There
was a bathroom at the roof deck. The AHJ wanted standpipes for this
building. They called the roof deck area an additional floor.

I can't seem to get past wanting them at all in a two story building.
Maybe another question is did someone recently return from a seminar?
Or perhaps better yet is what have they been smoking?

Why does a 2-story bldg. need a standpipe?Great question
Does your current design use the stairs for your sprinkler
risers?No, all risers are in the pump room.
You’ll may need a different pump due to pressure and possibly flow
rate increase for standpipes versus sprinkler flow.Plenty of
pressure & flow, not a concern.
If you design system risers routed in chases or other avenues for
distribution now you need to be providing combination standpipe
risers in the stairs.Bingo
Why is an architect dictating what you provide as far as being a
combined standpipe/riser? Not exactly sure what prompted them to
be added.
Sometimes it makes better sense to leave the standpipes separate
from the sprinklers.Agreed.
So there are a lot of things to consider.
Or just throw out what you did and start over and bill them
EXTRA.I wish it was that easy….

Hypothetical question:
You’ve completely designed a (2) story school, 6 zones with a
pump, and now the owner/architect has decided to had combination
standpipes to the job. What would be your thoughts on the amount
of work involved?
