Inspection of construction files (archive)

Building construction files are stored in the building inspection archive. If there is a legitimate interest, it is possible to inspect building files and obtain (digital) copies. The application for access to the files is made online and is subject to a fee.

Who is allowed to view the files?
You may only view construction files in the archive if you can demonstrate a legitimate interest and the construction process has been completed.

What is included in the building files?
The building files contain all important documents related to a construction project, such as:

  • Building permits
  • Structural calculations
  • Floor plans and other construction plans and drawings
  • Letters and other documents related to the construction project

Who is authorized to view the files?
Only the owner of a property or the buildings located on it, or a person who has received written authorization from the owner. 

Important note:
If you need civil engineering and drainage files, you must request them separately from the Civil Engineering and Surveying Office.
