Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. It isn’t done yet and there are a lot of inspections to go.

Are these well dressed folks coming to fly, party or work ? Just asking for a total stranger

Nothing you can't solve with
PS: One fixture needs to move a smidge left or your wall washing will be uneven and induce OCD tremors.

ADA may be the death of me. Now we have to cover handicapped parking if we want covered parking for any other spaces..........

And let's not even talk about kitchen counters at 32 inches for a 6 foot 2 owner.........

Perhaps the laughing "Like" wasn't appropriate, but the first answer made me chuckle, the 2nd sad yet unfortunately not surprised. I guess these ADA folks view that as "Discrimination" against the Handicapped.
32", ouch makes even my short-ass back ache.
OK, that shit makes a slightly shaded exterior luminaire , which may or may not actually be there, not worthy of mention, never mind.
Good Luck

PS: Would it make any difference if these covers were separately permitted and installed after building final ?

It is a separate permit.

It's just how life is now.

Does the 4” pipe above the top control valve that comes out of the 6” tee go down and out to the FDC? If so, its odd that they would have a check valve inside at the riser and another brass check valve outside on the galvanized pipe. Not much pressure on the gauges. They must have drained off the static pressure.

At least the painter covered up the sprinkler heads from being painted.

if this is the new shed office i could only imagine what the main house and toys you have!!
wow!!! congrats to you!! hard work pays off!

Thank you.

Anyone can do it in America. It just takes a ton of work and a never give up attitude.

It does go to the FDC. I’ve asked some of your questions and they just shrug and say every city and every inspector is different. So you do whatever they want to get the green tag. Never thought a ceiling fan was so regulated by the fire department.

And that view seems to apply to pretty much every trade. I go by every day and after six months all I can do is chuckle and do what they want. No reason to die on a hill that doesn’t matter.

Just get it done. Results are all that matters.

Yea. We deal with over 30 different cities and they are all a little different. But most stick to NFPA #13. I’m on a couple different FB fire sprinkler groups that have members across the states, Canada and Europe. Some of the things they do in the MidWest isn’t what we do in So Cal. They have no idea what a seismic brace is for. If you have a “big ass fan” some cities require that they are wired to shut off in case of fire. I’ve heard the fan will change the flow of the fire sprinkler and maybe affect the smoke and fire with the fan putting out so much air flow. At FM they do check on these type of things.

Yes! Without a shadow of a doubt, if FU money ever presented itself, it would be near the top of the purchase list. Love it.

Medium aggregate, high polish.

I would expect no less, gonna be a beautiful place when done. Is it turning out as you had envisioned?

If this is a "shed" I need to leave this site in a hurry!!!!!! way out of my league!

So far so good.

In the UK they use shed as opposed to hangar. It was a play on words.

Maybe a little overkill to get rid of cigar smoke.......

Wrong color aggregate, take it out!
Is that everywhere? Hanger and offices?

@530RL

Did your designer/architect have anything to do with Evergreen in McMinnville, Or? Looks very similar!

Cool as hell! Nice work.

Hangar, tug shop and common areas are all ground then polished although the mezzanine deck was a different concrete than on the main floor.

The architect primarily does high end restaurants and country clubs across the country and he wanted to do a hangar. No involvement in the evergreen facility.

That hangar door will not be filled with glass but with a metal skin and then insulated. The evergreen facility is glass as the weather makes it possible. 120 degrees ambient temp
Facing east will not pass code as glass. It violates energy efficiency standards.

Is that it for lighting ? I thought maybe they'd tossed a few temp fixtures up --- but now not so sure

I asked the same question. The lighting engineer said don’t worry as these new fangled 480 volt halogen lights will blow it out.

We will see…..or not if it is dark.

Proper lighting isn't just about measured lumens or ft. candles. It's about uniform coverage and reducing shadows at the proper elevation.
480V ? Halogen ? Where'd you find this guy ??
Halogens of that apparent wattage would make for great ceiling heaters.

I'm more inclined to believe they're 277V and LEDs.
Regardless of awe inspiring specs, I find it odd that the fixture design photometrics, would show providing almost twice the uniform output from their short sides as they apparently (Based on layout) do on their long sides.
Usually the photometrics would show just the opposite pattern. Consider a 1x4 led fixture as a common example.
Now, the giant fans can complicate issues and cause compromises and even undesirable consequences when the lights are located above them.
Strobe effects can cause some people to suffer seizures, probably not desirable when performing work on expensive aircraft.

So remember, not just about light or dark. If in question have this engineer bring his foot candle light meter and measure not only that it's meeting desired foot candles at the desired height, but for uniformity. Hell I'm sure there's an app for that as well you can use to test it yourself.

I naturally hope for your sake, my ole eyes (But sportin new hi-tech IOLs ) are deceiving me.

Now you made me look.

They are columbia 277Volt LED's, 34,000 Lumen, Wide Output.

It says some BS on the box of 240 Watt/LED, 5000K.

Besides that I suspect that the architect and contractor will figure it out before telling me it is done. They have been pretty good so far and I know they have a half dozen extra lights if necessary. We already added one to the Tug area.

Way above my pay grade. I just tell them to do it right as if it was their own place and they send me a bill that I pay. If there are shadows or dark spots, they will fix it as they know exactly what I am looking for when finished.

Sounds better and quality fixture by a reputable (Hubbell) manufacturer. Good temperature color (5,000K) for that application. What I run in my garage/shop.
Sounds like a great relationship.
As we age, great lighting is essential

Except in dating. At our age poor light is essential.
