        "text": "Commercial projects and residential renovations in municipalities like Cottonwood or Camp Verde must adhere to adopted local building and fire codes. In these jurisdictions, drop ceilings must maintain proper vertical clearance from fire sprinkler heads and meet smoke-spread ratings for plenum spaces. If the space above the ceiling serves as a return-air plenum, local code requires plenum-rated cabling and fire-resistant tiles. Verifying permitting requirements with your general contractor ensures code compliance before work begins.",
