I recommended an access be provided on an offset section of home that did not have an access to a bath and couple bed rooms.
The attic area did not have any HVAC units. The attic area was more than 30" high, and 30 sq.ft.
The builder informed the customer an access was not required since this was a fire access requirement. For access in this area the fire department can remove HVAC ducting going to that part of the attic to get access.
Is this an acceptable access?
In spirit of respecting the builders that visit this site, especially the ones that claim we are terriorsts, among others things, when we recommend correction on items that don't meet the min. building requirements, lets not get too technical on this one:D
