I'm planning a few upgrades to the wiring in my condo that will require filing plans with the city. It would make my life a lot easier if I had the existing electrical plans (and probably other systems, too). The condo is new construction and I bought it from the builder.
Is it customary for the builder to provide copies of the plans if requested?
I think it's common in most places for the local government (town/city hall) to have the plans on file. Keep in mind though that sometimes work is done without plans or permits, so use the plans as a guide not an exact map.

On the west coast of Canada (at least) it is rare for there to exist either planned or as-built plans for electrical (, plumbing, or HVAC) for residential homes (whether single or multi-dwelling buildings).
Floorplans, elevation drawings, and lot plans are required by most municipalities to be submitted to the public record.
