| (6) The industrialized builder or alteration permit
holder shall choose an approved DRA to perform the review and evaluation
of all construction documents for the recertification of an industrialized
building. The industrialized builder or alteration permit holder may
choose a different DRA for different projects or buildings, but may
not change DRAs for a project or building once the plan review has
begun without prior written approval from the department.
(A) Construction documents submitted to the DRA shall
include all information pertinent to assuring compliance with the
mandatory building code and shall include structural, thermal, and
electrical load calculations.
(B) As built construction documents shall be reviewed
to determine the existence of any potential nonconformance with the
provisions of the mandatory building codes. The review and approval
of construction documents to recertify a building shall comply with
the requirements of §70.70(a)(2) - (4) and (6) - (8) with the
following exceptions.
(i) Based on the engineering analysis and the DRA's
review of the as built construction documents, the DRA will prepare
a report to the industrialized builder or alteration permit holder
that describes the nonconformances of the building to be recertified.
(ii) The DRA will signify approval of a drawing, specification,
calculation, or any other document submitted for review and approval
by the application of the council's stamp of approval for altered
or recertified buildings.
(iii) The design review agency shall complete a recertification
transmittal form in accordance with the requirements of the council
and forward a completed copy of the form to the department. A copy
of all documents pertinent to the recertification of the building
shall be supplied to the department upon request.
(iv) The design review agency shall forward a completed
copy of the recertification transmittal form and one approved copy
of the construction documents to the industrialized builder.
(v) The design review agency shall keep a copy on file
of the original approved documents, the engineering analysis, and
approved construction documents for recertification of the building
for 5 years from the latest date of approval of the recertification
or alteration construction documents.
(7) The third party inspector shall affix the alteration
decal to each industrialized building module or modular component
upon completion of the construction and successful completion of all
required inspections in accordance with this section and the requirements
of the council. Successful completion of all required inspections
means that all construction has been completed, that all violations
have been corrected, and that the construction has been found to be
in compliance of the applicable mandatory building codes and the approved
construction documents.
(A) The decal shall be affixed in the vicinity of the
original decal or insignia on the module or modular component as depicted
on the approved construction documents.
(B) The industrialized builder or alteration permit
holder may not change the third party inspection agency for a project
or building once started without prior written approval of the department.
(C) All plans pertinent to the alteration or recertification
shall be available for use by the third party inspector during the
inspection. A copy of the mandatory building codes shall be available
for the inspector's use during the inspection.
(D) A rough-in inspection shall be scheduled by the
industrialized builder or alteration permit holder while construction
is still open to inspection. The inspector shall begin the inspection
by verifying that the units to be inspected are those depicted in
the original approved, the approved as built, or the previously approved
recertification construction documents and shall verify the original
decal and serial number of each unit to be inspected. The third party
inspector may require the industrialized builder to uncover portions
of the building as necessary to verify compliance.
(i) The inspection shall be terminated and the alteration
decals returned to the department if inspection reveals that the units
have been altered from the original approved, the approved as built,
or the previously approved recertification construction documents.
(ii) The inspection shall be terminated and the alteration
decals returned to the department if inspection reveals that the units
are not those identified by serial number and decal number in the
approved construction documents.
(E) A final inspection shall be scheduled by the industrialized
builder or alteration permit holder after construction is completed.
(F) Inspection of system testing shall be scheduled
by the industrialized builder or alteration permit holder as necessary
to assure that tests required by the mandatory building code are witnessed
by the third party inspector.
(G) The industrialized builder or alteration permit
holder shall schedule a reinspection with the third party inspector
wherever a deviation from the approved plans is identified that cannot
be corrected and inspected during the rough-in or final inspection.
(H) The inspector shall complete a recertification
inspection report on the forms and in the format required by the department
and the council. A copy of the inspection report shall be provided
to the industrialized builder or alteration permit holder for his
records and submitted to the department upon request. The third party
inspection agency shall maintain records of all recertification inspection
reports for five years from the date of successful completion of inspections
for a building or project.
(I) Only one inspection shall be required where a building
is recertified in accordance with subsection (f)(2) or (f)(3) and
no construction is required to bring the building into compliance
or to complete alterations on the building.
(i) The third party inspector shall verify that the
units to be inspected are those depicted in the approved construction
documents and shall verify the original decal and serial number of
each unit to be inspected.
(ii) The third party inspector may require the industrialized
builder or alteration permit holder to uncover portions of the building
as necessary to verify compliance.
(iii) The inspection shall be terminated, and the alteration
decals returned to the department, if inspection reveals that the
units have been altered from the approved construction documents.
(J) Only one inspection shall be required where emergency
repairs are performed in accordance with subsection (f)(5) and where
further construction is not required to bring the building into compliance
with the mandatory building code.
(i) The inspector shall verify that the units to be
inspected are those depicted in the approved construction documents
and shall verify the original decal and serial number of each unit
to be inspected.
(ii) The third party inspector may require the industrialized
builder or alteration permit holder to uncover portions of the building
as necessary to verify compliance.
(iii) The inspection shall be terminated, and the alteration
decals returned to the department, if inspection reveals that the
units have been altered from the approved construction documents.
(iv) The inspection shall be terminated and the alteration
decals returned to the department if inspection reveals that the units
are not those identified by serial number and decal number in the
approved construction documents.
(8) An alteration data plate shall be attached to the
altered building as required by subsection (g).
(9) The industrialized builder or alteration permit
holder shall maintain all records pertinent to the recertification
and make these records available to the department upon request. Records
shall be maintained for as long as the building remains a part of
the inventory for that industrialized builder or alteration permit
holder.
(10) Buildings constructed on or after October 31,
2006 may not be recertified in accordance with subsections (f)(1)
or (4) without prior written authorization from the department.

be placed by the third party inspector on each altered or recertified
house or building as required by this section. The data plate shall
be supplied by the industrialized builder or alteration permit holder.
(1) An alteration data plate shall be affixed to any
building where the alteration or recertification results in a reclassification
of the occupancy group or construction type, a change in the type
of gas required for appliances, or a change in the wind speed and
exposure, maximum snow (roof) load, seismic design criteria, or special
conditions or limitations.
(2) A copy of the data plate shall be retained by the
industrialized builder and be made available to the department upon
request.
