This video provides an example walk-thru of what architects check for while space planning as it relates to common egress items. These are common items that are looked at and hopefully caught before a design is sent to a client!

  • I'm a fire inspector and follow several of you architects. You guys and gals explain more practicality than inspector classes do. Thanks again!!
  • @fw6500
    Thank you for the video. In the past, we encountered plan checkers who required us to use A3 for the waiting area at the reception.
  • You are the one who can make people's headaches go away. Please continue; I appreciate it very much.
  • @kummer45
    This material IS INCREDIBLY outstanding. We need explanations and problem solving situations where such concepts are applied. This is education.
  • @fyfe4life
    I love this method of teaching. Using a real set of plans is such a great idea! I hope to see more of this in the future! Thanks!
  • I really enjoyed this new problem-solving format, great video as allways! ;)
  • @ricky2104
    Loved the video being a plans examiner its great to see a detail explanation on a common problem ! Keep the videos coming!
  • @Mytraism
    There is a dead end issue with 49 occupants also. Since space is not sprinklered, you are limited to 20’ regardless of 49 or 50 occupants.
  • @eyadnazer6936
    Thank you for this explanation. Is there an explanation for the evacuation time calculation using a simplified method?
  • @MWOMA1
    If we added a door at the start or middle of the corridor, wouldn't that solve the dead-end issue? so, we can make the coffee bar bigger, but will we need to pay for one more door?
  • Sir, we would be grateful if you could provide us with a video of parking calculation for each occupancy type.
  • @jjl4806
    Is it possible to do a code comparison of 11A and 11B from California Building Code ?
  • Can’t you just make that last office larger cutting off the corridor?
  • My question is does your open offices have to be divided by 50 instead of 150?
  • @abulsar
    If this building is not sprinklered it should have area(s) of refuge. Right?
  • @franksoto8101
    All doors would need to swing toward the direction of egress travel too. Correct?
  • @joon6094
    One more thing, the right entrance door swing must be reversed if occupant load is more than 50.
  • How do you address the issue of non-simultaneous occupancy? The users of the coffee bar is mostly the occupants of the office, would it be the coffee bar is part of the “net floor area” of the office? I know we need to address the worst case scenario, but some office has small breakroom or pantry and not designated as a separate function? Is a coffee bar different in function than a breakroom or a pantry?
