- The project exceeds the limitations defined under Level 1 Alterations
as specified in IEBC Section 403:
Level 1 alterations include the removal and replacement or the
covering of existing materials, elements, equipment, or fixtures
using new materials, elements, equipment, or fixtures that serve the
same purpose.

specified in IEBC Section 404:

or elimination of any door or window, the reconfiguration or
extension of any system, or the installation of any additional
equipment.
- The project is below the threshold triggering Level 3 Alterations as
specified in IEBC Section 404:
Level 3 alterations apply where the work area exceeds 50 percent
of the aggregate area of the building.
- The project does not involve a change of occupancy, therefore IEBC
Section 406 does not apply.
- The project does not involve an addition, therefore IEBC Section 407
does not apply.
- The project does not impact the exterior or substantial interior
configuration of a historic building, therefore IEBC Section 408 does
not apply.
- The project does not involve a relocated building, therefore IEBC
Section 409 does not apply.
