About Us
The National Building Archives® was formed by a group of builders, architects and management companies who understand the need to secure a building's data permanently. Many elements of a building's construction are lost by management teams or discarded by employees who don't understand the long-term importance of the documents.

The National Building Archives® is a database and document management system that use the patents granted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to place stainless steel tags (digital cornerstones) on buildings. These markers are deeply laser scored with a QR code and are designed to weather the elements for centuries.

These markers provide future building owners, architects, historians, builders, trades, insurance companies, realtors, manufacturers, and others, the building's history from cradle to grave.

The system uses the 50 divisions of construction information, as defined by the Construction Specifications Institute, and can hold ALL documents such as blueprints, warranties, equipment locations, electrical lines, paint codes, bids, permits, invoices, repairs, upgrades and all other information.

The entirety of the building's history is preserved forever.

The tag's data repository can be accessed using smartphone technology, or a browser, to gain access to all information that a particular user has permssions to view.

The Building Tag, or Digital Cornerstone®, references the building's construction database of information such as:
  • blueprints
  • specifications
  • warranty documents
  • construction photos
  • bids
  • RFPs
  • invoices
  • equipment & materials manuals
  • paint codes
  • permits
  • equipment installation dates
  • electrical maps
  • plumbing maps
  • sprinkler systems
  • landscape maps
These are all uploaded to, and held, in the secure server system of the NBA. These tags identify the building by a serial number and QR Code that lets users interface with the archive to retrieve construction data as needed.

For example, if you have an issue with the roofing system, and are looking for the installing contractors to make a bid, you can retrieve the data from the archive to make the call.

System users include:
  • Architects
  • General Contractors
  • High Level Mortgage Underwriters
  • High Level Insurance Underwriters
  • Large Real Estate Companies
  • Federal and State Departments and Agencies
  • Property Owners and Property Management Companies
  • Historical Preservation Societies
  • Builders
  • Landscape Architects
  • MEP Engineers
  • All Other Building Service Providers
These entities all have their up-to-date contact information displayed as public information. They can be looked up using either an address or the tag serial number.

The app protects sensitive documents such as proposals, permits and invoices and makes them available only to authorized users. They are stored in multiple high security server facilities located throughout the United States.

The National Building Archives is the new nexus for all building and real estate data in the United States.
