Practically speaking, it is often inconvenient and costly for building
professionals to keep project files; understandably, they do not wish to
retain files any longer than necessary.  In British Columbia, the
provisions of the* Limitation Act*, S.B.C. 2012, c. 13 (the “Act”) should
guide building professionals in the formation of their records retention
policy.

The Act establishes limitation periods for civil actions, which arguably
indicate the duration of time that project files should be kept.  The Act
does not contain any requirements with respect to record retention,
however, to fully defend claims made against them, building professionals
should have their complete project file available to them.

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of
laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
