Who must approve any cutting, notching, or other alterations to truss members and components?

Owner
Architect
Building department
Registered design professional

The correct answer is: Registered design professional

The approval of any cutting, notching, or other alterations to truss members and components must be obtained from a registered design professional. This is because trusses play a critical role in the structural integrity of a building. Altering these components can significantly affect the load distribution and stability of the entire structure. A registered design professional, typically an architect or engineer, possesses the necessary training and expertise to assess the impact of such modifications. They ensure that the alterations comply with the Florida Building Code and do not compromise safety or structural performance. Their approval is a safeguard to ensure that all changes are made in accordance with established standards and best practices.
