PDI Building Types

Residential

Also called "multifamily", though that label is less appropriate for hotels, and even less for dormitories.

High Rise

%% TODO %%

[!info] A high rise building has an occupied floor more than 75 feet above the lowest level of fire department vehicle access.

Mid Rise

Garden Style

Outdoor-style complex of multiple 1-3 story buildings.

They typically have a "clubhouse".

Garden Style projects are typically wood frame, though some municipalities in south Florida require block construction due to hurricane standards.

High Density

Essentially a catch-all category for residential projects that don't fit the previous.

Examples include:

  • Multi-story wood frame building above concrete podium or wrapped around concrete parking structure

[!info] Podium "Podium" refers to the levels of concrete construction below those of wood framing in a dual construction type building; the "1" below the "5" in ibc-construction-types#^5-over-1.

Commercial
