It is very important to make sure that the contractor responsible for curb construction understands curb cut designs and elevations. This is often a new technique for contractors, and they may not understand the overall concept of water in the gutter line being directed behind the gutter.<br>
'''Construction Steps:'''
#Place the right forms (rolled curve vs standard) in the inlet location.
#Pour concrete.
#Shape the inlet
#Add the river stone on top of the fresh concrete (if applicable)
#Provide sufficient curing time, according to CSA standard A23.1-09.
'''Key Inspection Points:'''
*Use of proper curb form by sub-contractor.
*Curb type aligns with design.
*Curb cut location, type and dimension aligns with design.
*Designated concrete wash out is in place and away from LID facility.

'''Mistakes to Avoid:<br>'''
*Elevated curb cuts and reverse slopes (sloping from back of curb towards instead of depressing from gutter line towards the back).
*Wrong curb cut width size.
*Use of wrong curb form.
*Concrete wash out within or upstream of LID facility.
*Lack of communication to concrete contractor or ready-mix driver explaining the function and importance of protecting the LID feature.
