!
Fire alarm device spacing and coverage gaps
!
Lighting power density exceedances

Why FBC Electrical Compliance Matters

Florida Building Code compliance for electrical drawings is critical because violations discovered during plan review delay permits, and issues found during construction result in costly rework, change orders, and schedule delays. Catching FBC electrical issues during preconstruction costs 10x less than fixing them in the field (CII, 1-10-100 Rule).
