How long must an as-built drawing be kept in the ACT?
Last reviewed July 5, 2026
In the ACT, as-built drawings should be kept for at least 7 years after project completion. This helps ensure compliance with regulations and any future maintenance needs. Check with your local authority for specific requirements.
Key points
- Keep as-built drawings for a minimum of 7 years.
- Check local authority guidelines for specifics.
- Important for compliance and future reference.
The 7-year retention period aligns with general construction documentation practices in the ACT. It's good to have these drawings on hand for any disputes or maintenance work that might come up in that timeframe. Always stay updated on any changes to regulations that might affect this.
