Requirements
Key compliance requirements
- TAS accessibility compliance and TDLR registration
- Wind load design documentation per ASCE 7 with Texas amendments
- IECC energy compliance documentation
- Texas State Fire Marshal requirements for fire protection systems
Risk areas
Common contradiction areas
- TAS accessibility requirements conflicting with architectural detail dimensions
- Wind load design pressure conflicts between structural and envelope specs
- IECC energy compliance documentation conflicting with mechanical specs
