I am with Bauer construction and am bidding on the 3 new buildings. I have a question about the floor access doors. The spec's call for a fire rated door with a 300lb loading capacity. All fire rated floor access doors must be set in concrete. We have wood floors. The fire rated doors only have 150lbs per sq.ft. loading capacity. Also the fire rated doors are 5K each versus 800 each fire non rated. Can you please specify if the fire rating is needed for these doors and if so we need to encapsulate in concrete. Please advise.
