You bet! Thank for your interest.

Thanks guys, I was sent a contact from someone in the area that specializes in this. His quote was very fair and will probably lock in with their firm.

Will email you. Thanks!

How many of you guys have done MEP's with CA? I have a set of plans I did of a 2000 SF office build (4 office space and conference room with 2 half baths, lobby and a kitchenette). Very simple structure with one plumbing wall. I have already done the electrical and have structural engineers I can call to stamp the my structure, Because this is on a newly zoned small "commercial lot" this changes everything. "MEP's are required by a professional OR a competent designer" in the planning commission guys own words. We have the tools in CA I just don't know how far into detail you have to go with hvac, electrical & plumbing. Anyone wanna quote me to do it who knows Alabama code? I will message you the plans if interested. Stripped down version of plan below......all 2x4 wall stud structure with 9' ceilings on mono slab. This is for an investment build for myself. I am demoing the current old structure on the lot as we speak to make room for the office and parking lot.

I had to adjust to this issue and manually adding faucets to the sinks.

Haha I feel your pain and this was helpful too. I just got used to fixing them all th etime.

Yeah, I guess I could do that or 45 deg the wall. I was just lining the upper wall up with the lower wall.

Correct, I had it labled as unfinished but even with calling it an attic space it is still sticking out of the valley.

How do you guys fix this? I have attic space floor framed and sheathed for storage and it sticks thru the valley. I have it as "unfinished" room type.

I figured it out for those who ever have this problem. Don't delete footers along the footprint of the home and forget to add them back. There was nothing separation the living & porch space on the fdn....DUH

I will check....I think that gets updated automatically when you do the -4" floor setting.

I am about ready to pull my hair out and I am already a bald guy. In default settings my default floor level (one story home) is set to a 10' ceiling height throughout and floor height @ 0. I manually click my porch spaces & input the them to -4" floor level for the step downs in the foundation. Why does the porches sometimes keep resetting to 0 floor height or certain rooms inside set themselves to -4". I have fought this over the years but it has been quite a while since this has kept happening on one of my projects. It's like that game whack a mole in the room spaces haha......

This is a block stem wall by the way. I create these all the time with a rowlock feature and it is just not cooperating this time.

Yep, I may just have to do that. I was trying to avoid it. Thanks!
