Stephen,
In a word: No. However, one reasource that will assist you in determining retention of your design & construction files is called the Statute of Repose. It's like a statute of limitations. Generally, it states that anyone who designs, constructs, or observes the construction (professionally, that is) of a building can be sued for defects in that building during a certain period of time. Every state has it's own statute of repose. Here in PA, it is twelve years after the building is completed. Like statutes of limitations, statutes of repose are not records retention requirements, however they are essential pieces of info you need to have in hand when determining retention periods for your project files.
Good Luck,
Gary

Do any resources exist that pull together state/federal retention regulations for the architecture and construction industries? It's one of those Fridays when what I think I can find easily cannot be found (by me). Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
