13 Va. Admin. Code § 5-91-115 - Change of occupancy classification
When the occupancy classification of a registered industrialized building is changed, the change of occupancy shall be in accordance with one of the following:
1. A compliance assurance agency shall
inspect the building, including any disassembly necessary, to determine whether
compliance may be achieved for a change of occupancy classification in
accordance with this chapter. If factory plans are available, then disassembly
is not required to the extent that the factory plans can be reasonably verified
to reflect the actual construction. Once any necessary work is completed, the
compliance assurance agency shall prepare a report documenting the method
utilized for the change of occupancy and any alterations to the building to
achieve compliance. When the report is complete, the compliance assurance
agency shall (i) mark the building with a new compliance assurance agency label
in accordance with
13VAC5-91-210, which replaces the
existing label; (ii) place a new manufacturer's data plate on the building in
accordance with
13VAC5-91-245, which replaces the
existing manufacturer's data plate and reflects the new occupancy
classification; and (iii) forward a copy of the report and new data plate to
the SBCO; or
2. A building official
shall determine that a change of occupancy for an industrialized building meets
the requirements of the USBC. The building official may require the submittal
of plans approved by a registered design professional or inspection by an
approved third party. A change of occupancy of a registered industrialized
building, in accordance with the USBC and approved by the building official,
must be reported to SBCO and the registration seal and data plate removed prior
to occupancy.
