Eh, you don't need the tabs they're over rated... and they fall off... I think mine are still in the bottom of a box some where... a 6 pack get's em! Jamie

My take is the owner got the chance for an early sale as a commercial condo and wants to take it. I wrote the gc that I thought the implications to spkr. and fa design might effect the rest of the building and they might want to reconsider the quick sale and factor in the details. I just wrote them back and referred to John's (and others) clarifications (thanks again) and put together a fast budget of density, concealed space, and pipe size changes (type v construction btw) and also a heads up for the plumber and electrician's changes. Looks like a go even with the additional costs associated. Tom For you seasoned users of this code, new to us 3/1/09, where did you get your tabs and supplements? I'm still at the highlighter and dog-ear stage and trying to bone-up quick. In IBC land, there is Separated and Non-separated mixed use. Non separated, your entire building would be full 13. In separated mixed use, as long as the ratings meet the required separations or "separate buildings" of the code, (including horizontal) you can use 13 for the lower area and 13R for the upper. There has been some contention on the designation of a separate building and a horizontal fire barrier, but this configuration has met the intent of the code in the jurisdictions I've dealt with.
