Irvin J. Poke is the chief of the Plan

Review Division of the Michigan Bureau

of Construction Codes and a member of

the International Code Council. He is

responsible for review and approval of all

construction documents for projects within

the state jurisdiction. The division also

approves and monitors manufacturers and

third-party inspection agencies involved in

Michigan’s Pre-manufactured Units pro-

gram. Mr. Poke is an architect licensed in the state of Michigan

and a technical training instructor for state and local govern-

ment code officials. He has also conducted seminars for AIA

Michigan in accessibility, and participated in the Michigan

Architectural Foundation Educational Facilities Conference.

Irvin assumed his current position in 1989 and became a mem-

ber of BOCA International. He has served on the BOCA

Education and Training Committee and currently serves on the

Structural Loads Committee. In 1996 Irvin was appointed to

the International Code Council Performance Code Committee

representing BOCA and the State of Michigan. He chaired the

subcommittee that wrote the draft sections for Egress,

Plumbing, Mechanical, Electrical and Interior Environment. In

1985, Irvin was hired as project architect by the state of

Michigan, Department of Management and Budget, Office of

Facilities. In that capacity, he supervised design professionals

in the preparation of planning and bidding documents for state

facilities. During the four years in this position, he handled

professional service contracts for more $200,000,000 in capital

outlay construction projects ranging from prisons to university

facilities. Irvin is native of Detroit and earned his degrees in

Architecture at the University of Detroit. He worked for the

firm of Nathan Johnson and Associates in Detroit, becoming

the project architect responsible for code compliance.

The two hour program includes: When is plan review

required? We will explore the requirements for plan review and

when it may be waived. What is required to be submitted and

how to receive the documents? Familiarize the participant with

what should be submitted and the appropriate way to receive

the information. What are construction documents and when

are professional services required? Will explore what consti-

tutes construction documents and when professional services

are required. We will also cover the requirements for seals and

signatures on the construction documents. Use Groups? We

will review the classifications of use and occupancy defined in

the building code. Performing the Plan Review and document-

ing the findings? This module will walk through the process of

performing the plan review and documenting the findings and

approval. Fast track projects? The process of how to handle

fast track projects and keep your sanity. Prototype buildings?

The section will show how to document prototypical buildings

and maintain the records.

December Tech ProgramPlan Review

Irvin Poke

The November ASPE design class with our

special guest presenter Julius Ballanco, PE,

ASPE International President, dealt with

the crucial issue, ”Forensic Engineering

and Your Liability.”

To hear a speaker give a talk that’s dynam-

ic was to hear Julius Ballanco do the sub-

ject of Forensic Engineering. Delivered

with energy and power, having a speaker

with enthusiasm was both enjoyable and a learning experience.

Everyone was kept wide awake during the whole presentation.

What was very disappointing is that only 42 members and guest

were present.

A golden opportunity was totally missed by those who did not

attend this meeting. They were not there to begin understanding

the roll that is played in the field of plumbing, engineering dis-

ciplines, knowledge, good records, proper design techniques

and honesty in delivering to our clients the best services in the

world. SERVICES, THAT IS, WHICH CAN STAND UP TO

THE SCRUTINY IN A COURT OF LAW. A complete copy of

the PowerPoint presentation, with 50 pages in FULL COLOR

was distributed, by Julius Ballanco. Thank you very much for

your time and efforts, Mr. Julius Ballanco, PE.

Our caterer, Ginny, again provided an excellent dinner consist-

ing of stuffed cabbage rolls, mashed potatoes, tomatoes au jus,

bread, salad, delicious dessert but, no turkey.

A vendor, V.E. Sales Co., Inc. represented by Cindy Zatto for

Speakman Plumbing and Emergency products, was the ONE

AND ONLY VENDOR...thanks for the dinner. Please let her

know how much you enjoyed it. Thanks again, Cindy, from all

of us who were there.

CONGRATULATIONS to both, John Nussbaum and Cindy

Zatto, upon being recognized by the national ASPE organiza-

tion for their individual efforts to promote and expand services

to members. As Chapter President, John’s very active leader-

ship has brought new ideas to the table and kept the Chapter

thriving. The national office honors John for a job well done!

Thank you, John! Cindy was honored for her continuing efforts

on behalf of ASPE to bring in new members as well as follow

up with current members. Cindy is always on the job and her

dedication and support are appreciated by the Chapter as well

as the national office. Julius Ballanco took the opportunity,

while he was in town, to personally do the presentations on

behalf of the Society (see photos on page 2).For the December meeting, Irvin Poke, AIA, Chief Plan Review

Division, Michigan Bureau of Construction Codes & Fire

Safety, is our special guest presenter. He will outline what are

good parameters a plan reviewer is looking for in the set of

plans. Plan on being there to hear inside the mind of a reviewer

of our designs and how they are interpreted. This is another

good design program to increase our knowledge in plumbing

presentations.

“Perhaps it is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to provisions against danger, real or pretended,

from abroad." —James Madison to Thomas Jefferson, May 13, 1798"Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government's purposes are beneficent. Men born

to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil-minded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidi-

ous encroachment by men of zeal, well meaning but without understanding." —Supreme Court Associate Justice Louis D.Brandeis, 1916-1941
