ARCHIVE: Electronic document storage, RICS information paper, 1st edition (2001–2003)
This document has been archived and is available on isurv for information purposes only.
This guidance note was prepared in response to the growth in electronic document exchange and storage. Without some form of structured methodology, the task of managing information through the traditional document lifecycle is virtually impossible.
There are a number of Electronic Document Management Systems (EDMS) providing the basis of a structured system. The question for practitioners is, what form should a system take, and which system is best for a particular project? While there is no single system, there are some general recommendations on good practice.
This guidance note is part of the RICS QS and construction standards (the 'Black Book').
Please be aware that this guidance note contains some material which is in the process of being updated for revisions to the CDM Regulations, RIBA Plan of Work, and updates to the JCT, NEC and FIDIC suites. Members are made aware of these impending revisions in order that they first check the most up to date position before electing to act in accordance with this guidance document.
