DFM checks for compliance with the DE Code only. DFM does not provide building and life safety code review or enforcement. It is the responsibility of the design professional (architect and engineer) to ensure that the project plans and specifications are in accordance with local building codes. The State Fire Marshall’s Office checks for compliance with the life safety and fire codes. The local building official (county or municipal) is responsible for enforcement of the building code.
