Detached garage being built in Suburb of Detroit, MI
Contractor claims a dispute I am having with him is because "It is Code."
But somehow contractor's claim of "Code" is so un-reasonable for a detached
garage, it makes me think any similar actual rule would be for an attached
garage.
Cannot seem to find anything on internet for local building code (county or
city). So, How do I find out if contractor is bull***ting me or if there is
really a building code requirement.
No, I an not sure I do trust him on this issue.
TIA
Phil

Call the appropriate local building code enforcement agency.

And you can't ask your local building dept. because you didn't get a
permit. Right? Buy the ICC residential building code book. Online.

Tell him the freaking code book can pay his bill!
If he wants money from YOU, he'll build things the way YOU want them built.

You got more than one estimate right? Check with the others. Call your
city hall as they will have the info on what is 'code'.
