What a project sheet tells you

Wall and height
The wall type, its finished height measured from the bottom of the footing, and its length.
Drainage
What was buried behind the wall, and where the water leaves.
Permit and engineer
Whether the city asked for a permit or a stamped drawing, and who signed it.
The face and the top
The stone or block used, and what was planted or paved above and below.
