Architects and contractors

Legislation requires that certain documents and reports be kept for a certain period, often for a period of 10 years or more. This is to ensure that the responsibilities of the architect and contractor are documented and that there is evidence of compliance with the building regulations and standards.

These documents contain information about the design, construction and materials used during construction. This may be useful when planning future renovations or modifications to the building.

These documents also often contribute to the preservation of historical information about the building.
