evaluate the design of the facility or the operational process in question. A registered design professional
is commonly used for these services. It is critical that the preparer of the report have the proper
background and experience for the project since the credibility of the report depends on these
qualifications.

SECTION 4 – USE
Contractors: Approvals must be incorporated into the plans by attachment to the plans. All approvals
must be presented to Department Inspectors at the time of the project inspection.
An approval of alternative materials and methods of construction (AMM) does not abrogate
requirements or approval by other agencies having jurisdiction or responsibility.
Approval, if granted, is specific to the project or process in question and shall not be construed as
approval or acceptance of this application on future projects and is specific to the address under which
the AMM was approved.
AMM approvals shall only remain valid within the currently adopted Building and Fire Code cycle in
which they were reviewed and approved. AMM approvals will expire upon adoption of subsequent
editions of the Code.
