Maximum Allowable Quantity (MAQ) Analysis in Florida
Exceed the maximum allowable quantity in a control area and the occupancy classification changes — with it, the construction type, fire protection, and permit path. EverSafe runs the MAQ analysis per IFC Table 5003.1.1, accounting for sprinkler and storage-cabinet increases, so you know exactly where your project stands before the AHJ decides for you.
What's included
- Control-area quantity analysis against MAQ tables
- Sprinkler and approved storage-cabinet quantity increases
- Storage vs. use and open vs. closed system breakdowns
- H-occupancy determination support
- Recommendations: subdivide control areas or reduce quantities
- Sealed report for AHJ and permit submittal
Why MAQ analysis decides the project
MAQ is the hinge between a standard occupancy and a high-hazard one. Getting it right early tells you whether the design needs another control area, a different occupancy, or nothing at all — a decision worth making on paper, not in plan review.
