Comment response is engineering, not a longer note on the same sheet.
Typical comments library · Comment classifier · What to send · Start here.
A comment letter is a punch list against the adopted code path. Masterbuild treats it that way: which comments are drawing evidence, which are process, which belong to architecture or structural, and which are the original engineer of record’s to own.
How the first 48 hours should go
- Send the comment letter, the current set or a share link, permit number, and jurisdiction.
- Masterbuild maps each comment to a discipline and a response type: sheet evidence, calculation, listing, or “not this PE’s seal.”
- Written scope: which comments Masterbuild owns, what the original EOR must still answer, and a fixed fee for the resubmittal package.
Comments that usually need more than a note
- Outdoor air — show Table 403 / ASHRAE 170 math on the sheet, not a typical that restates the section
- Type I vs Type II — the equipment schedule controls; a “light prep” label does not
- Makeup air — IMC 508 equality; transfer air is not assumed
- Fire/smoke dampers — IMC 607 path by assembly, not a catalog pick from memory
- Combustion air — Chapter 7 method, volume, and listings — not a louver copied from the last job
Answering “provide calculations” with a thicker typical
If the comment asked for outdoor-air math, a damper listing, or a load file, a note that restates the code section will come back. The evidence has to live on the sheet or in the upload.
What to send
The comment letter (PDF); current drawing set or cloud link; permit number; which comments you want Masterbuild to own; whether the original engineer is still on the project.

Send the comment letter
The letter plus the set is enough to start. Masterbuild will say which comments are in scope before anyone prices a resubmittal.
