Alternate Methods and Materials Fairfax County Building Official's Blog
One of the many questions the Building Division regularly fieldsis if a product, material or construction method is approved foruse in Fairfax County. The answer to that question is based onVirginia Construction Code Section 112.2, "Alternate methods andmaterials" and Section 1701.2, "New materials." These provisionsenable Virginia jurisdictions to set a standard by which to acceptalternatives to what is available through the code. Most alternateconstruction methods can be reviewed and approved through thecode modification process on a case by case basis. However,materials and products have more specific functions and requiregreater scrutiny and review.
To assist us in that level of review, the Building Division relies onnationally-recognized evaluation services and their correspondingresearch reports. Through the information therein, we receiveguidance on what is required to approve the product's use in thecounty. These services review laboratory accreditation, test resultsand other data to formulate the research reports. The reports (alsocalled evaluation report , ESR-evaluation service report or CCRR-code compliance research report) give instruction to the designer,building and code official for the proper installation and codeapplicability. The Building Division has accepted reports from thefollowing agencies:
