The Residential Building Code has nothing to do with the Permitting requirements of the Local Jurisdiction.

The Local Jurisdiction may have adopted the entire Code or just parts of it. (It's usually easier to just adopt the entire Code)
....

This post, like several others, proves that you are completely ignorant of the process.

In NC, all county building inspections departments are overseen by the State Department of Insurance. The NCDOI has adopted the International Building Code, with State amendments.

You're being an arsehole Jack, do stop!

No! I'm having way too much fun kicking his ass all over the soccer field.

Please, Havana. Nomad delivered a severe spanking to DS. I had to comment. (Don't be a cunt!)

Gomad spanked himself....

 

[MAGA MAN]

Nonads is a major league cunt, do you want to be one by association? Dark Soul is a licensed engineer in North Carolina, you can take that to the bank!

This morning I see that Jack has been bending over for GoMad, screaming for more. After the hard spanking I just delivered to GoMad, Jack's cheeks must be bruised.

Just because I like to beat a dead horse, here is an excerpt from Mecklenburg Counties guidance document: "Residential Plan Submittal":

Building components must be designed and sized to meet the requirements of the North Carolina State Building Code specific to your project. If you have difficulty drafting and designing your project you may want to consult with a licensed general contractor or a design professional.

https://www.mecknc.gov/LUESA/CodeEn...ades/building/Documents/ToolsfortheNovice.pdf

In other words, a homeowner can prepare his own plans, and if he's smart enough to design according to the simple "recipes" in the Residential Code, he will get the required permits to build. He may obtain the services of a general contractor to do so, who again, is not a licensed architect of engineer.


Mecklenburg County includes Charlotte, hardy a:

...third rate, chickenshit municipality or county...

and widely acknowledged as a more difficult municipality within the state to build in.

These two dickheads,"nomad" and "jack" are really having a hard time comprehending real people doing real work and non Democrat municipalities which are not socialist, totalitarian shitholes. I think it is a complex symptom of their TDS. Real sickos.

There's your reading comprehension problem again. You don't need sealed drawings to get a permit, for most single and two-family residential construction.

Dark Soul: "You don't need sealed drawings ... "
Jack: You're the only person I've ever heard say that.

Dark Soul: "You don't need sealed drawings ... "
Jack: You're the only person I've ever heard say that.

I'm happy to have taught you.

 

[Jack]

Did you even read post 66, which was in direct response to you? Here are the applicable sections:

Dark Soul: "With rare exception, contractors always take the approach of least effort. ..."
Jack: Some do shit work, others take pride in what they produce.

What separates you from REAL Engineers, is that YOU don't have the capacity to THINK.

Talk about 'reading comprehension'.

Dark Soul: "The NCDOI has adopted the International Building Code, with State amendments."
Jack: There is a 'Code'. You admit the 'Code' has been adopted.

Gomad spanked himself....

Nomad gave you a perfect example how someone (for whatever reason) could have built a reinforced brick column with four continuous length rebar inside the brick cells completely filled with concrete.
YOU ... as usual, ... show your utter lack of the capacity to THINK.

Engineers THINK ... YOU don't.

 

[Nomad]

Read post 66 again, then get back to me.

Don't need to read it again, because it's bullshit.

You discounted a perfectly reasonable possibility that there could be rebar in the columns based solely on the assumption that it would be "too much work" to slide each brick down the length of the bar, when I fact, it could have been done with relative ease.

You must really look at things from the lazy man's perspective.

And it appears that I certainly was correct in my assessment of your third rate hillbilly shit hole jurisdiction if they don't even require a licensed architect or engineer's seal on drawings in order to slap together some hodge-podge shit shack and claim that it meets "accepted standards".

I guess that's how guys like you get away with it.

I can remember when I paid $25 to take an online test to get your Texas State license to become a residential Real Estate Inspector.

I remember that I failed the test by only one question.

I was basically just trying to see if I knew enough already without having to take any coursework or prepare in any way for the test.

Anyway, had I passed the test, I would have received a State license!

Most of what was on the test was just basic common knowledge!

Interesting you bring ' Democrat municipalities which are not socialist, totalitarian shitholes' into the equation.

I can't speak for Nomad, but I like talking to Dark Soul and hear him spin his yarns. I love hearing him tell about walking on to Job Sites and seeing something out of the corner of his eye 50 feet away, immediately barks out "I'm condemning this Project!". hahahahahahahaha ...

Which is exactly the mindset that caused him to assume sliding the bricks over the rebar would be...

"too haaaaaaarrrrrd!!!!!!"

I think it's fun listening to his tales. He's funny. Then ... watching Havana swallow the whole hook, line, and sinker ... makes it even funnier! hahahahahahahahaha

Yeah, and I hope your non-engineered shitshack hovel that was slapped together by some peckerwood "contractor" down in whichever non-socialist redneck shithole you live in, collapses around your ears the next time a stiff breeze blows.

Fucking weirdo.

The building inspector instructed the builder to call me since his brick assembly didn't meet Code. In this case, the maximum height for unreinforced masonry columns is four times the least plan nominal dimension; in this case that would be 8 x 4 = 32", not the 168" as built.

As an experienced inspector I always look at a job from the lazy man's perspective, because contractors generally work that way. My assumption that the columns were not reinforced was confirmed when the builder kept his mouth shut after I asked him if they were.

That builder, not exactly a brain surgeon, was obviously smarter than you since he knew enough to keep his mouth closed at the right time instead of continuing to show his audience how stupid he was.
