French term or phrase: calepinage

Context:
Travaux comprenant :
- Levage et montage des matériaux sur les terraces.
- Pose des slabs directement sur le complexe (pose sur le voile non tissé).
- Toutes sujétions de ***calepinage*** en parfaite relation avec l’étancheur.

I'm a bit confused over this calpinage: I see layout in previous questions, but wouldn't it be the supports in this context?

Sorry, pressed Enter too soon. Dicobat and Termium give "pattern layout" and "assembly sketch". I prefer "layout drawing" because I think it is more easily understood and more appropriate to the context, but between the two alternatives above, the former fits the context better.

façade joint register

Explanation:
Dicobat - building dictionnary
calepinage - établissement d'un calepin
calepin - représentation sous forme de calepin du détail des joints d'une façade, du découpage en panneaux d'un enduit de parement ou des motifs d'un revêtement associant plusieurs couleurs
The above is based on this definition restricted to joint as étancheur is being mentionned

TONY M is right- I should have read Dicobat a bit better because it says - calepin - dessin en élévation, en plan et en coupe d'un appareillage de pierres... Le calepin est aussi le plan de détail d'un revêtement en carrelage ....
So it should something as façade joint drawing / plan
