Dewick & Associates provide professionally prepared Building Handover Manuals (BHMs) for construction and building services projects across multiple sectors.
Our in-house Technical Writing Team author bespoke, project-specific documentation that consolidates architectural, structural, and building services information into a coordinated, user-friendly and compliant handover package.
We support contractors, builders, developers, and project teams in delivering clear, consistent, and compliant handover documentation, enabling building owners and Facilities Managers to effectively understand, operate, and maintain their building assets
A Building Handover Manual is a structured technical document that provides a consolidated record of the completed building, forming a key component of the project close-out process. It ensures that all essential building information is transferred accurately to the building owner or operator at completion.
Building Handover Manuals support:
Unlike fragmented document sets issued across multiple contractors and suppliers, Dewick & Associates deliver fully coordinated manuals that provide a single, traceable source of project information.
Building Handover Manuals are prepared in accordance with:
This ensures all documentation is compliant, complete, and suitable for operational use.
Dewick & Associates utilise our bespoke cloud-based platform, nucleus, to manage collation, coordination, and delivery of Building Handover Manuals, As Built drawings, and construction handover documentation.
nucleus provides a centralised digital environment aligned with Common Data Environment (CED) principles, enabling efficient management of project information including collection, review, tracking, and issue of project information throughout the construction lifecycle, supporting robust construction document control and building information management.
By combining our in-house technical authoring and engineering expertise with the structured digital workflows of nucleus, we replace manual document chasing with a controlled, auditable handover process. The platform reduces administrative burden, improves documentation accuracy, and enhances coordination across all As Built and handover deliverables, ensuring a consistent and compliant project close-out process.
Key features of nucleus include:
Prepared by qualified Technical Writers with strong experience in authoring of construction documentation, our Building Handover Manuals are tailored to the project scope and typically include:
All information is coordinated into a consistent, clearly indexed, project-specific format suitable for building owners, Facilities Managers, and operational teams.
Dewick & Associates provide professionally prepared Building Handover Manuals (BHMs) in flexible formats tailored to meet project specifications and client requirements.
Deliverables typically include:
Through nucleus, clients benefit from centralised document control, live project visibility, and long-term access to building information within a secure digital environment. This ensures all project handover information remains accessible, traceable, and easy to manage throughout the operational life of the building.
