permanently.
(ii) To easily search files, unnecessary data, such as working and data returned after being checked, shall
be deleted to save data with an appropriate size.

4. Range of Saved Data and Procedure to Save


(i) The person responsible for design, the Deputy of Quality Management Manager, or the Deputy of
Construction Supervisor shall operate data in the project folder during the work period.
(ii) The person responsible for design, the Deputy of Quality Management Manager, or the Deputy of
Construction Supervisor shall organize necessary saved data after completing the work in accordance
