How many sets of drawings are required for a building's review under FALAR 1?

The requirement for the number of sets of drawings for a building's review under FALAR 1 is specifically established by regulations to ensure adequate review and assessment by the relevant authorities. Six sets of drawings allow for thorough examination by multiple departments or personnel involved in the review process. This number ensures that each department can access and analyze the plans without needing to request additional copies, thus streamlining the review process and facilitating communication among all parties.

The standardization of six sets is designed to balance the need for comprehensive review against the practical considerations of resources and time. By providing multiple copies, it minimizes delays that could occur if additional sets had to be printed or distributed after the review has commenced. The choice of six sets reflects a consideration of the diverse aspects of building code compliance, safety, and architectural integrity that must be scrutinized.
