Hi All. Here is my first attempt at the "Custom Alternative" from the FTP site. Please review. Here is the program...

grade.
1. All ceilings and roofs are flat.
2. Non-bearing corridor and lobby walls have a one-hour (minimum) fireresistance
rating.
3. Exterior and bearing walls have a two-hour (minimum) fire-resistance rating.
4. The top of the Elevator roof deck shall match the height of the Meeting Room.
No finished ceiling is required in this space. The joist height for this space is
