Effortless handover. No missing data. No delays.

BTR developers need seamless, structured, and fully compliant construction handover information — without the hassle of chasing Contractors for missing documents, fixing data gaps, or delaying occupancy approvals. By specifying Zutec to Contractors, digitise and standardise building manuals from day one, ensuring a smooth, one-and-done handover to BTR operators.

Eliminate handover delays and compliance gaps

Disorganised contractor documentation can cause costly delays, compliance risks, and post-handover headaches. By specifying Zutec to Contractors, ensure all project handover data is standardised, structured, validated, and centralised, so BTR developers can hand over once and move on — without rework.

  • Real-Time Data Validation: Trade management to deliver or spot missing or incorrect documents early to prevent last-minute delays.
  • Seamless Digital Handover: Ensure all information is standardised, structured, operator-ready, and easy to navigate.
  • Accelerated Project Closeout: Speed up approvals and avoid costly re-engagement with past projects.

Standardised, operator-ready building information

Poor quality, inconsistent contractor submissions lead to compliance issues and inefficiencies at handover. With proven templates and forms, Zutec enforces structured data capture ensuring the right information is captured from day one and meaning a smooth transition to BTR operators.

  • Contractor Submission Control: Enforce correct formats and ensure compliance before final handover.
  • Regulatory-Ready Documentation: Meet Building Safety Act (BSA) and fire safety requirements with a structured digital audit trail.
  • No Legacy Data Risks: Audit-ready data can be hosted on and exported from Zutec, reducing legacy risks for operators and stakeholders later down the line.

Future-proof BTR developments with a digital-first handover

Traditional handovers often result in gaps, missing compliance records, and operational inefficiencies. Zutec creates a fully digitised golden thread of information, ensuring operators receive complete, accurate and standardised data for long-term asset optimisation.

  • Compliance-First Documentation: Automate validation and ensure alignment with long-term asset strategies.
  • Effortless Handover and No Rework: Standardised information ensures developers hand over once — without the chase.
  • Effective Maintenance and Risk Management: Asset information set up up for efficient maintenance and operations management, reducing risks associated with incomplete or unstructured documentation.

Structuring, standardising and digitising your building information isn’t just about compliance — it’s about maximising operational efficiency, reducing risk, and enhancing asset value.

FAQs

Still have questions?

Why can’t I use the contractor’s CDE?

While many contractors may already have a CDE today to manage project data, they may not manage the handover process well or be able to gather a consolidated data set for a comprehensive building safety case. Specifying Zutec for handover doesn’t displace contractor CDEs. They are great for managing project information, but they are not necessarily tailored to meet the changing legislative requirements outlined in the Building Safety Act. Where contractor CDEs may be familiar to stakeholders across the building supply chain, they don’t include templates, forms and workflows designed specifically for Gateway 3, Safety Case and golden thread compliance. Without a mechanism to be able to identify and fill data gaps in accordance with regulations, it will be difficult for contractors to demonstrate compliance. At the same time, once the Defects Liability Period (DLP) is over you may not have access to contractor platforms post-project completion. Managing multiple exports may no longer be sufficient to evidence and manage ongoing compliance if documentation.

Our contractors use different systems, how can Zutec integrate with them?

Once you have specified us for handover, we work directly with your contractors to standardise your handover process across all developments, reducing inconsistencies from different contractors.

We already have a BIM model, why do we need Zutec?

A BIM model alone doesn’t ensure structured handover data or long-term compliance tracking. Zutec bridges the gap between BIM and operational asset management, ensuring your handover documents remain accessible and up to date. Compliance with the Golden Thread of Information requires structured, validated, and easily retrievable data, which Zutec ensures.

We already use a CAFM (Computer-Aided Facility Management) system, why add another tool?

CAFM systems handle day-to-day maintenance but lack structured asset handover functionality. Zutec provides a single source of truth for all building information, ensuring seamless compliance audits. Proper handover documentation reduces maintenance costs by ensuring accurate records from day one.
