131 Issues Found in a Commercial Interior Fit-Out
Accessibility, life safety, and MEP conflicts—caught before permit and construction.
The Project
An anonymized commercial office interior fit-out with a full drawing set and code references (IBC 2021, IFC 2021). InspectMind cross-checked Architectural, Fire Protection, Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, and Structural content to surface permit blockers and coordination gaps before submission.
Sample Findings
Sliding Door Egress Hardware Missing
Hardware set specified only one pull handle on sliding doors, preventing operation from the egress side.
Fire Extinguisher Cabinets Specified as Locked/Solid
Specifications required locks and solid doors—contradicting code requirements for accessible, visible fire-fighting equipment.
Emergency Power Duration Conflict
Drawings specify 90-minute battery backup while code text requires 2 hours, creating a life-safety compliance gap.
Restroom Accessibility Maneuvering Clearance Obstructed
Lavatory counters encroach into latch-side maneuvering clearance at restroom exits.
Permit Status Disclaimers Conflict
Title blocks state “Not for permit,” while issue history indicates “Issued for permit,” risking plan review rejection.
Why It Matters
"We caught multiple permit blockers—hardware, life safety, and accessibility— before submission. That saved weeks of churn."
