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!
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.
Do they have 13th floors?
nah. the latest is 4 stories with floors 0, 1, 2, 3, R, and then dunnage level if you count that
