How to Use This Spreadsheet

• Each section (cover sheet, site plan, floor plans, roof plan, elevations, cross sections, structural, electrical) lists drawing features and corresponding IRC code references.
• Use the spreadsheet as a step-by-step verification tool to ensure all necessary drawing elements and code requirements are addressed.

• Review the Section Headers:
  Identify which sheet or drawing type is being referenced (e.g., “SITE PLAN”, “FLOOR PLANS”, “ELEVATIONS”).
• Check Each Drawing Feature:
  For each feature listed in the first column (e.g., “TITLE BLOCK”, “SCALE”, “NORTH ARROW”), confirm that your set of plans includes this item and that it is accurately shown.
• Consult the IRC Reference Column:
  Reference the listed IRC section(s) associated with each drawing requirement to verify compliance with the code and to read further detail in the actual IRC if needed.
• Read the Comments Column:
  Comments give clarifications, examples, or tips for proper inclusion/documentation of each required item.
• Mark Completed Items:
  As you finish each drawing feature, mark it as completed or not applicable, ensuring that nothing is overlooked in your documentation.

• Always consult the full text of the 2021 IRC and any local amendments for specific details and interpretations required for your jurisdiction.
• Use the spreadsheet as both a training tool for new staff and a final review checklist before submission to regulatory authorities.
