Code Nerd

Last week I had the great pleasure of writing a code assessment to accompany a design for a high-tech client. That may sound like I'm being sarcastic, but I'm not. I honestly love analyzing building, fire, mechanical, and energy code to find the right solution for my client and make the most succinct presentation to the Authority Having Jurisdiction. Yes, the codes make crazy circular references to one another and the language is awkward and full of double negatives, but that's part of the fun. Understanding code and applying it in a way that works for my clients - and then making the case to the AHJ is truly a good time for me.
