Construction Notes Revised

The document provides construction notes for a project, including: 1. General notes stating that construction notes and details apply to all drawings, and contractors must verify dimensions and coordinate with other contractors. 2. Concrete notes specifying minimum compressive strengths and maximum aggregate sizes for different elements, as well as reinforcement requirements. 3. Masonry notes including requirements for concrete masonry units, reinforcement, and grout. 4. A note indicating the foundation design was based on an assumed soil bearing capacity.
