I can request the CAD files, but don't like my chances of getting them. In my experience, architects are touchy about such things and view the CAD drawings as their intellectual property for a host of commercial and liability related issues.
I believe that if we had stated from the outset that we wanted the drawings we could have put this in the contract but it may be a little late now.
EDIT - Of course I could be wrong about this as I have never been involved at this stage of the building process before.
