Also, let's say that in the larger rooms with multiple pockets we can call it obstructed construction. What about the rooms that have accordion style seperators that when closed create a single room with one pocket and when open would be multiple pockets and therefore then potentially obstructed construction?
This is not only about saving sprinklers for costs sake. In some of these areas there are so many sprinkles it is hard to get them in without being too close together.

If they're 3' to 7.5' on-center, it likely does qualify as obstructed construction. And if they're not more than 22" deep (or close to that), sprinkler spacing should be fairly simple.
