Nothing other than explaining the ramifications of the architecture design. They may not want to proceed with the ceiling height change after seeing the cost impact.

An issue has come up with the calculations we are having a difficult time solving, and I wanted to pick the forums collective brain on it. Looking at the existing system, it appears the original install contractor utilized the QR reduction in the showroom to reduce the design area. The renovation calls for increasing the 130 sqft vestibule ceiling height to 26' from 17'. This essentially eliminates our ability to apply the QR reduction, and defaults our remote area back to 1500 sqft. Unfortunately, we don't have the water to make this remote area work anymore. Is anyone aware of a way to keep the reduced design area? I have been racking my brain on this, trying to eliminate the need for a pump. Thanks again forum...
