what to do with revised original signed drawings?
(OP)
Hello
Question come up in my company, what to do with original drawings that has been revised.
As a practice my company does not give wet stamped drawings to client, we always keep them in the office. When project is done we stamp IFC drawings with revision 0, make copies, scan drawings to pdf so we have electronic version too, and send copy or pdf to the client.
So when drawing is been revised, new signed drawings is been created with revision number, date etc. scanned, copied and delivered to the client. Still original sheet with wet stamp stays in the office.
A question is what to do with first IFC rev 0 original drawing? Destroy it or keep it for some legal reason. Someone mentioned that it should be retained incase have to be presented in court, but we always have electronic format.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Can you still get blueprint (diazo) machines? I love them.
Print your drawings on vellum, then sign and stamp them. Issue blueline prints of the drawing with the signatures and stamps. You now have source control. You can easily identify prints you issued. You can easily identify prints someone else issued, and perhaps modified as per thread765-303867: Report a Client for Fraud?.
Is it really that hard to store vellums?

As well as showing progressive changes, they can also indicate original intent or scope which may progressively slide during a project.
