What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dq Treat's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a site feasibility drawing was prepared by ADQ for the location, its intent is to show, on a preliminary basis only, the relationship of the building and parking lot within the site and is not a construction document but rather a guide for a civil engineer. Dq Treat requires that the franchisee contract with a civil engineer to prepare drawings for the location.
The drawings prepared by the civil engineer should include, but are not limited to, a topography and boundary survey, a drainage/water retention plan, and a final site and grading plan setting building floor slab elevation. The drawings should also include utilities connections from the building to sources off site, and site details such as curb detail, parking lot section, and culvert/drain details.
It is important for prospective Dq Treat franchisees to understand these requirements as they represent a significant part of the initial investment and site development process. Ensuring that the civil engineer's drawings are comprehensive and compliant with local regulations is crucial for a smooth construction process and to avoid potential delays or additional costs.
