Apartment-over-garage kits would not pass regulations

The manufacturer stated:
Quote:
This building is engineered as a utility structure (risk category 1) which is very different from a residential building (risk category 2). The engineering calculations included with this building package will not meet requirement, and therefore not pass code for (or inspection as) a living space.
Other people commented that carbon monoxide and fire would easily travel from the garage to the loft.

I had figured that I would need to have an architect modify the plans to include plumbing and electricity, but it sounds like far more would be required.
