The Buildings Department (BD) keeps a repository of the building plans and related documents such as structural calculation sheets and occupation permits of existing private buildings in Hong Kong, collectively known as building records. These building records were submitted by the Authorized Persons, Registered Structural Engineers and Registered Geotechnical Engineers under the Buildings Ordinance containing spatial information such as the approved layout, building height, plot ratio and site coverage. They are important references for business operators, building professionals, government departments and members of the public for such purposes as licence applications, the removal of unauthorized building works, as well as the applications for approval of building works related to existing private buildings, new development and redevelopment.
