Size of opening in mm. I'm assuming this is a government project, so metric must be used.

As far as the abbreviations go...I'm at a loss for most of them.
That's it! the Canadian building code is all done in metric. Imperial still rules the worksite.
Thank you for your help guys:D
 
Any drawing set should have an abbreviations list for this reason...if we don't know what the abbreviations are how can we review plans?

Exactement. I may know 'em, I may not. I just finished a plans review with a symbol [ F ]. I thought it might be a fire-alarm pull, but they're in places where fire pulls ought not to be. I flagged the need for a pull, gave the code reference, noted the plans stated pulls must be installed.

No indication of the meaning of the symbol. Or, in other words, I had no idea WT [ F ] it meant.
