Strathcona County has developed a CAD (Computer-Aided Design) Guideline to be used for engineering and landscape projects within Strathcona County boundaries.

The purpose of the guideline is to standardize information on drawings and improve electronic data sharing between Strathcona County and consultants.

Any projects initiated prior to January 1, 2024, are encouraged to use these CAD Guidelines. Usage of these guidelines are also encouraged for CAD representations of subdivisions, buildings, and other vertical infrastructure projects.

If you have any suggestions or comments, you can provide feedback by emailing us at cad.manager@strathcona.ca
