VinnieVicon Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 You can go to 2015 IRC code book and it will tell you there. Unless this is something very unusual, the building official doesn't like to be bothered with questions that are in the code books.

para-CAD Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Back a couple years ago I created this initial model for a spec builder/pastor. He wanted it for much less than I was asking for. So here you go.....free. And as with anything free, I wasn't very CA skilled, so the model might have issues. I was able to build one side complete and then mirror it with a 2" separation gap. I owe much to the great work by all the experts here and the videos some have created. Thanks! Ontario St Duplex_R1.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 In Florida duplex require a one hour wall. My favorite is 8" concrete block. No problems with sound. Trusses can be a bit tricky at times. BXUV.U906.docx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2wheeltodd Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 In New York State you are only required to have a (1) hour fire rated wall between a two family (duplex). This is possible with a single stud wall with specific drywall at each side. Different areas have different requirements, but it's pretty economical here. You can reference R302.3 in the 2015 IRC and UL Design U305. This meets the code here in Upstate NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some had fire-rated GWB in the 2" gap space plus sound batting 4x8 sheets. I have a sketch at the point in time in this video Expand Your plans blew me away. Specifically the amount of detail you put into the framing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Thanks for the kind words, Mark. I was a framer for a long time. I just want to make plans that can be useful on the job site. Some builder's don't care...some do. I have fun trying to make things go smoothly from the design onward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
