FAQs

What scale and measurement rules apply to these drawings?

All drawings are in metric scale. Dimensions under 1000mm are shown as whole numbers, and dimensions are given to the face of curb and face of foundation and site walls unless otherwise indicated.

What must the contractor do before starting construction?

Obtain all required provincial or local municipal permits, arrange utility staking prior to construction, and visit the site to become familiar with existing conditions. The contractor must verify layout and report any discrepancies to the landscape architect before proceeding.

How should the contractor handle underground utilities during excavation?

Existing underground utilities shown are plotted from original site drawings and/or topographic survey. The contractor must use precautions, verify locations and depths prior to excavation, and be aware actual utilities may not match shown locations.

What requirements govern concrete transitions and expansion joints?

At edges of existing sidewalk or curb where new concrete is placed, sawcut and remove existing concrete to the nearest contraction joint for smooth transition. Install expansion joints where new concrete meets existing pavement, slabs, or footings, and place expansion joints at maximum 6-meter intervals.
