LA HB387

Architects may perform incidental engineering work (minor mechanical, electrical, or civil-structural) only when it is secondary to and substantially less in scope than the architectural portion of a project

Incidental engineering work includes additions, renovations, or alterations that do not require significant adjustments to engineering calculations for system changes

Site work such as drainage, grading, sidewalks, pavements, and utilities is restricted to areas within 5 feet of the building foundation

State fire marshal is prohibited from providing a deficiency letter listing requirements for plan approval when plans are submitted in violation of the incidental engineering practice rules
