Who We are, What We Do, Our Approach

Who are Dewick & Associates? Construction Documentation Specialists.

We specialise in the technical development, coordination and management of construction and building handover documentation, supporting project teams throughout the project lifecycle, from design and construction through to commissioning, handover and ongoing operation. Working alongside builders, main contractors, subcontractors and asset owners, we provide the technical expertise needed to capture, coordinate and manage critical project information.

We understand that project documentation is not simply an administrative requirement or a collection of files. It is the technical record of the building, providing the information needed to demonstrate compliance, support commissioning, operate and maintain assets, and manage the building throughout its life.

By combining technical expertise, structured processes and digital information management, we help project teams turn complex and fragmented project information into accurate, coordinated and usable information.

What do Dewick & Associates Do?
Develop Technical Documentation

Construction projects generate information across every stage of delivery, from design drawings and specifications through to commissioning records, certificates, asset data and manufacturer information. Dewick & Associates brings this information together, coordinates it and transforms it into accurate, structured and usable documentation that supports construction, commissioning, handover and ongoing building operation. Our Services include:

  • Construction & Handover Documentation: We prepare and coordinate the documentation required for practical completion, handover and long-term building operation, including O&M Manuals, Building Handover Manuals, Building User Guides and Apartment User Guides.
  • Commissioning & Technical Documentation: support project teams with the documentation required to plan, record and demonstrate commissioning and building performance, such as Commissioning Plans, Building Tuning Plans and associated technical deliverables.
  • Compliance & Statutory Documentation: We help project teams identify, coordinate and present the information required to meet contractual and regulatory obligations, including NCC Section J Compliance documentation, Health & Safety Files, Regulation 38 Fire Safety Information, CIBSE TM31 Logbooks and Green Building Rating Tool documentation.
  • Engineering & Drafting Services: Our technical capabilities extend beyond documentation. We provide in-house mechanical engineering and drafting services that support the development, coordination and completion of project information.
  • Digital Information Management: Our proprietary nucleus platform provides a secure, structured digital environment for managing the production, review, tracking and delivery of project documentation. By improving collaboration and visibility across project teams, nucleus helps ensure information is complete, coordinated and ready for handover.

By combining technical expertise, structured processes and digital information management, we help project teams maintain visibility of documentation throughout the project and reduce the risk of incomplete or poorly coordinated information at handover.

The result is a complete technical record that supports the building from construction and commissioning through to handover and ongoing operation.

Our Approach:
Technical Expertise, Coordinated Information, Effective Handover.

Successful building handover starts long before practical completion. The technical information required to operate and maintain a building is created throughout design, construction and commissioning, not just at the end of the project. That’s why we integrate documentation into the project lifecycle, progressively capturing, authoring, reviewing and coordinating information as work is completed. This proactive approach reduces risk, improves document quality and helps ensure projects are ready for a smooth, compliant handover.

Specialist Support That Scales With Your Project

Outsourcing provides flexible access to specialist technical writing, engineering, drafting and coordination resources without the need to maintain these capabilities in-house. Dewick & Associates operates as an extension of the project team, providing the specialist support needed while clients remain focused on construction, project management and delivery.

Dedicated Client Coordinators

Our Client Coordinators act as the primary point of contact, working with clients and our Technical Writers, Engineers and Drafters to coordinate information, monitor progress and resolve issues. Supported by nucleus, they manage the flow of information and ensure requirements are understood, priorities are clear and documentation stays on track.

Progressive Documentation Management

Building information is developed throughout the project, not assembled at the end of construction. We progressively capture changes, coordinate documentation and commissioning information, and identify outstanding requirements to create a controlled path to handover.

Our approach combines specialist outsourced resources with structured coordination, progressive information management and a clear focus on the operational needs of the completed building.
