Canada should be mixed or blue.

What? Why? On the east coast I've mostly seen ground as first floor. Sometimes below ground is counted though.

I've worked on a few buildings in Quebec that all use the European style. hate it!

[-] pedz@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

I've lived in Québec all my life, been in Montréal for 17 years, and I've never seen a building that uses the European style of floor numbering. It throws me off when I go in Europe. You may have experienced the exception rather than the rule.

We usually have RC (rez-de-chaussée/road level), 2, 3, 4...

could be. they have all been the same type of building so maybe a querk. it started off being designed “normal” and then they changed it.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Do they have 13th floors?

[-] Willy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

nah. the latest is 4 stories with floors 0, 1, 2, 3, R, and then dunnage level if you count that
