What is the PID or Post Intervention File?
The post-intervention file (PID) of a building is the file containing all elements that may be useful for the safety and health of the people who will later carry out work on the building (eg maintenance and repairs, renovations, demolition work). The file is comparable with the safety instructions of a manual, with the necessary plans and drawings of the structure of the house and the existing technical installations (central heating, sanitation, electricity, ...). In addition, the file also contains the names and contact details of the architect, safety coordinator and main contractors involved, who have erected or renovated the building.
When do you need such a dossier?
A post-intervention file is mandatory on construction sites and with every sale of a house or apartment whose construction started after 1 May 2001 or where work has been carried out since 1 May 2001 by one or more contractors.
Who sets up a post-intervention file?
The post-intervention file (PID) is drawn up and completed by the safety coordinator. On construction sites with only one contractor, it is the client himself or a third party appointed by the client who must draw up a simplified post-intervention file. When the owner himself carries out work, he himself is responsible for the post-intervention file.
What is the use of a post-intervention file?
On the basis of the file, an owner, tenant, architect or contractor can, in the event of renovations, easily identify the structures of the building, how the structure was built up and which materials are in a building. When work is carried out, the owner is obliged to make the post-intervention file available to the architect and the contractors.
What if I had the obligation to have such a file and did not do this?
The post-intervention file belongs to a house or building. It must remain with the building for the entire life of the building, even after the sale. When a building, or part of it, changes owner, the previous owner hands over the post-intervention file to the new owner. This handover is recorded in the deed confirming the transfer of the building. If you have not drawn up this file, you will have to appoint a specialist in the matter, for example a safety coordinator, to make up for this so that it can be handed over at the latest when the deed is executed.
