How have building departments handled permits for different jobs that use the same garage door specifications?
Joe: A number of communities have created what is known as a “master file” program. First, a door manufacturer supplies a dealer with three “master sets” of signed and sealed door drawings. These drawings are prepared, signed, and stamped with a raised seal by a state-registered Professional Engineer. Then, the dealer takes these drawings to the building department for review. If the drawings are approved, the building department stamps the drawings with a “code compliance stamp.” One stamped set is retained in a “master file” for future reference, while the other two are returned to the dealer. Then, for specific jobs, the dealer need only supply a copy of the approved drawing at the job site for final inspection.

Criteria for retrofitting may vary from one area to the next. D&AS: How does DASMA work with local buildin
