For the past 15 years, I’ve been at what I call “the messy end” of construction projects – the point where everything needs to be handed over to the client. It’s the stage where good intentions often unravel into chaos with overruns, variations, disputes and companies vowing never to work together again. I suspect that many in our industry already share this truth: a 100% compliant BIM handover does not guarantee usable operational information.

In the first instalment of a two-part series, Lucas Cusack from u003ca href=u0022https://glidertech.com/u0022 target=u0022_blanku0022 rel=u0022noopeneru0022u003eGlider Technology u003c/au003eexplains what asset owners must prioritise and the common pitfalls to avoid to ensure the transition from construction to operation is as smooth and beneficial as possible. A successful project handover is not just about receiving a set of documents at practical completion.

In the second and final part of a series about project handover, Lucas Cusack of u003ca href=u0022https://glidertech.com/u0022 target=u0022_blanku0022 rel=u0022noopeneru0022u003eGlider Technologyu003c/au003e turns his attention to the contractor’s role. Here, he looks at the role contractors play in delivering accurate, structured information that’s ready for effective use in building operations.
