Blueprint Archive
Reykjavík City's Blueprint Archive has site plans and detail plans of structures in the city approved or confirmed by the Building Commissioner.
Documents in the Building Commissioner's custody
All documents in the custody of the Reykjavík Building Commissioner's office that have undergone formal processing are public records and accessible to the public. This includes blueprints of structures within city limits.
According to information laws, public access to documents can be restricted when important public interests require it, provided they contain information about national security or defense matters. Therefore, public access to drawings of this nature is not granted.
Secondary plans
Until now, secondary plans, such as piping and load bearing capacity plans, have not been available on the website, but work has now begun to scan them in. Some are already published on the website and they will gradually increase over the next month. This work is expected to be completed by mid-2024.
You can contact info@reykjavik.is to request specific blueprints.
