Building Manuals (Inc. H&S File)
Health and Safety Files are a critical component of construction projects in the UK, serving as a comprehensive record of health and safety information for the built asset. They are mandated under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015) and provide significant benefits to all stakeholders involved in the project lifecycle.
Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Manuals
Contractors are obligated to prepare a range of handover documents, including Building (O&M) Manuals and Health and Safety files upon the completion of construction projects. These documents are essential to meet legal obligations and fulfill the requirements outlined in various building contracts. Recognizing that this process can be time-consuming and labor-intensive for contractors, we specialize in delivering accurately prepared, professionally presented manuals on their behalf, ensuring timely submission and compliance with all relevant standards. In accordance with specific contractual i.e. JCT, NEC, ICE, etc, or bespoke requirements.
Building User Guide
The production of a Building User Guide in conjunction with the Building Manual based on BSRIA guidelines will meet relevant BREEAM credit requirements. Within the Man 4 credit, the criteria relating to these documents are a minimum standard required for various BREEAM ratings depending on which scheme the assessment is being carried out under. In most cases, this applies to excellent or better ratings, but some international schemes require credit for good or better ratings.
Home User Guide
A home user guide, also known as a homeowner’s manual or homeowner’s guide, is a document that provides essential information and instructions about various aspects of a residential property. It is provided to new homeowners as part of the handover process when they move into a new house. The purpose of a home user guide is to help homeowners understand and effectively manage the various systems, components, and maintenance requirements of their new home.
Building Logbook
The Building Logbook serves as a comprehensive reference guide for the Facilities Manager, providing clear and accessible information on the intended operation of the building. It also functions as a record-keeping tool for monitoring ongoing energy performance and documenting significant modifications.
