Broken hangers you're looking for. Painted sprinklers you're looking for. Leaking pipes you're looking for. Essentially, you're just looking for what 25 says to look for and only what you can see from the floor. As soon as you question the layout or the design criteria, you have stepped outside your certified area of expertise and have taken on the role of layout technician and/or PE. At that point, you might as well question whether the structure is adequate to support the system, whether it can tolerate a likely seismic event, or if the building itself can withstand the impact of a fully fueled 767 crashing into it. And what about that unsprinklered munitions factory? What's up with that?
