How would you treat this per ANSI. I have a 2 story property with no basement. It is basically a raised ranch. The first walk in level is family room, bedroom, bath, laundry/utility and built in garage. The second level is kitchen, living, dining, 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. The entire first floor...
The issue with ACI and ANSI certification
I wonder if I am the only one having an issue getting the ACI sketch to show measurements only to the tenth place and not to the hundredth place. Per ANSI guidelines, they only want measurements to the tenth place and not a double-digit to the right of...

I just completed the McKissock ANSI course and I am now completely confused as to the standard pertaining to staircases. So, from my understanding after this course, the finished staircase is counted as part of the finished area (GLA) on both the finished first and second floor. Is this correct...
So the ANSI standard states "staircases are included in the GLA of the floor from which they descend."
Looking for example at a two story colonial with no basement, here are my issues:

B) does this mean they are NOT counted on...
