5. Why must we gut the clubhouse to make life/safety building code changes? Answer: Gutting the building is essential due to the comprehensive nature of the required upgrades: • Comprehensive Compliance: o The Florida Building Code is updated every three years and mandates extensive modifications to ensure safety and accessibility. o The building code requires that the facility be brought into compliance when a major renovation is undertaken, necessitating returning the building to studs and exterior walls. o This process is extremely costly in an existing building remodel and can only be efficiently built and inspected in a total gut scenario. o Deficiencies affect fundamental structural elements such as columns, beams, flooring, and roofing, all of which must be fire -rated and compliant with current standards. o Partial renovations would not adequately address these critical areas, potentially leaving safety gaps.
