Thanks for the replies,
I have a new question and an answer to one of my one. I spoke to HPM today about fabricating wall panels, was told they do not build panels with steel studs at this time. Answers that.
My new question is how do you go about making a change or altering a building plan or material AFTER a building permit has been issued?
I know this sort of thing can be location-specific. will inspector just look at whether we built to code, and not to plan or material? Obviously I would never to tear down and rebuild, or get on the bad side of my inspector. Only reason Im asking is because Im running numbers in having SIPS built as opposed to stick framing. Im considering changing my plan from steel studs to wood to save quite a bit on labor with pre manufactured wall panels from HPM. ( i know about the humidity, termites, tenting, etc and its is a large factor in my decision.) Just wondering how difficult it would be to change stud material from steel to wood? already have gone through plan review & building permit any thoughts?
