Background information
Building supervision documents are public and anybody can view them. Municipalities must archive all documents deemed necessary for archiving. Municipalities keep in building supervision archives designs, technical drawings and blueprints produced for building and action permit processes. The same applies to documents concerning such matters as structural and ventilation work. Many towns have an online shop where you can find these drawings and data.
The building designer has the copyright to the design, as laid down in the Copyright Act.
