This post <br />construction certificate varies from the preconstruction certificate for the following <br />reasons: <br />1) In the drawings the bottom of the grade beam and footings were drawn three feet <br />below the existing grade to prevent scouring by a tsunami in case the footings <br />were set on sand. The footings are set on blue rock so they did not need to be <br />three feet below grade. I approved that change. The foundation contractor made <br />the concrete columns the same height from the top of grade beam and footing to <br />the top of the concrete columns which accounts for the height difference in Items <br />C2. a), b), and c) from the preconstruction certificate. I approve that change. <br />2) There was an additional slight difference in Items b) and c) due to the bamboo <br />construction and the relative height of the glulam beam at the lanai edge that I <br />have approved. <br />3) The hotwater heater has been installed below the floor level but above the base <br />flood elevation. I approve of this change as well. <br />Please call me at 808-572-1007 if you have any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />David E. Sands, AIA <br />V.� <br />
