Machine translation of the German page, 2026-09-15. The German original is binding.
Building files are created in connection with the processing and approval of building applications. A building file includes all documents and drawings produced in connection with projects on a building plot. The files for building projects are kept in the building file archive. You may inspect the building files, provided data protection considerations do not preclude this.
