Civil sheets cover the ground outside the building. They show existing and new grades, pipe sizes and inverts, pavement sections and the limits of work.
Example: a paving contractor measures asphalt area from the paving plan. The pavement section detail gives the thickness of each layer.
Specialty trades need civil sheets more often than they expect. Outdoor courts, site furnishings, fences and outdoor basketball goals appear on civil, site or landscape sheets. They are not on the floor plans. Check them before you close your count, and read the soils report with them.
