The goal of this guideline is to clarify requirements and provide assistance to architects and engineers, contractors, campuses, and Using Agencies when planning for new metal buildings, and to increase the rate of these project approvals for construction.  \nBACKGROUND AND SUMMARY:  \nAs the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) for State projects, GSFIC DRG provides State Fire Marshal reviews for both GSFIC and non-GSFIC managed projects, plus constructability reviews for GSFIC projects. This office receives a number of PEMB for review and approval. Several entities have requested clarification or written policies for PEMB submittals. Due to the unique nature of the supply of these structures (delegated design where the final design isnot available until after purchase of the structural system), the design and construction industry has a misconception that metal buildings can be approved by the AHJ with minimal documentation. Our office states that PEMB are still buildings and subject to the same submittal, review, approval, and code compliance requirements for the issuance of construction permits that other buildings require.  \nThe summary below includes typical PEMB requirements for submittal. All submittals shall include the full scope of work for the project’s construction. This summary is general and may not cover all specific conditions. There may be additional requirements, due to the unique nature of each design or location.  \n• Electronic (PDF) versions of drawings and specifications submitted to the SFMO Citizenserve portal and GSFIC Project Management e-Builder software. Drawings shall be to scale.  \n• All documents shall be signed and sealed by the responsible design professional. Per  \nO.C.G.A. 25-2-14. (a)(1), the State Fire Marshal’s Office requires that all submitted drawings “shall bear the seal and Georgia registration number of the drafting architect or engineer  ” for approval, including any disciplines which are included in the scope of work.  \n• All permit documents shall be the final construction documents and shall be indicated“Issued for Construction” or similar note on all documents / sheet borders.  \n• All scope of work for the project shall be included in the documents.  \n• A list of current adopted codes and Georgia amendments shall be included on the documents.  \n• Architectural – Provide basic elevations, sections, and details for review. Plans shall describe the basic design and layout.  \n• Life Safety – Provide basic life safety plans, and more comprehensive plans for any structure beyond a simple open floor plan, with sufficient data to fully explain the project. Provide occupancy classification, construction type , height and area, sprinkler status, occupant load, travel distances, egress capacities, planned use or activities or items stored within, etc.  \n• Comply with the 2010 ADA Standards for accessible routes, site, entrance, fixtures, features, etc.  \n• Structural – establish and indicate all loads and capacities as required in Chapter 16, Section 1603. 1, of the IBC. Provide slab / foundations design including a listing or table of the expected column reactions used in the foundation design. List these column reactions by basic load cases that allows a reviewer to use IBC Section 1605 to combine the loads and check the foundation design. The PEMB specification, SECTION 13 34 19 METAL BUILDING SYSTEMS, is required in the Project Manual and must require AC472 accreditation from the International Accreditation Service, Inc.(IAS) .  \n• Civil documents – a site survey of existing conditions, a sit","cbCaitEBXtup8TDe","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitEBXtup8TDe","pdf",94314,"English","# Introduction\n# Background and Summary\n# Typical Submittal Requirements\n## Electronic Submittals and Sealing\n## Permit Document Requirements\n## Architectural Requirements\n## Life Safety Requirements\n## ADA Accessibility Requirements\n## Structural Requirements\n## Civil Requirements\n## Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing Requirements\n# Additional Technical / Design Comments","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the GSFIC Design Review Group PEMB guideline?\",\"answer\":\"It summarizes design recommendations and requirements for PEMB submittal, review, and approval.
