BG 79/2020

This guide, available from www.bsria.com, covers the various documentation delivered and activities carried out at handover of a building, with particular focus on operating and maintenance (O&M) manuals. The effective operation of a complex asset such as a building relies on the availability of accurate information about the asset itself, and an understanding of the business it serves. Much of the information about the asset is delivered at handover of the construction project to the client. The O&M manual is the key part of the information needed during operation of a building, and as such is discussed here in detail. Historically, having all the desired information available on completion of a construction project has often been problematic, but by following a clear process of identification and route planning, the operators will be in a much better shape from handover.
