This is from a contractors viewpoint. NFPA 13, now has an "owner's certificate" that should be submitted to the owner prior to bid time if possible. It will tell you what the owners intent is or what his current use is if its an existing structure. One can only design to what the current occupancy is or what the intended occupancy was told to you by spec or the owner. I always try to be very specific in my proposals outlining exactly what the end user is getting. If things change at the time of turnover then all bets are off. The AHJ should intervene and the system gets modified or removed. The process starts all over again. Should occupancy change on an existing system, the owner should be notified that the current system is not adequate for the hazard and the AHJ should be notified at the same time. Enforcement by the AHJ is critical at this time to make sure that corrective action is followed through. The occupants insurance carrier can also be a motivating factors on getting changes going forward. Good question. This is from a contractors viewpoint.

These situations now that the operations, usage or hazard commodity has changed requires some type of corrective action. What would you do?
