Struggling with incomplete or inconsistent O&M manuals at handover?

With Practical Completion, asset owners are often left with fragmented, unreliable information from contractors. By specifying Zutec to Contractors, receive complete, validated, structured and compliant digital O&M manuals in one platform every time — so you can operate your asset with confidence from day one.

A single, trusted source of truth for safer operations & Golden Thread compliance

Zutec provides asset owners with a centralised, structured digital Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Manual that brings together all critical building information in one secure platform. This is particularly critical for higher-risk buildings where findable records are essential for a Building Safety Act and Golden Thread compliance.

By maintaining accurate, up-to-date O&M information in one platform with full version control and audit trails, Zutec supports the creation and ongoing management of the Golden Thread. Asset owners can ensure safety-critical information is always accessible, reliable and traceable — reducing risk, strengthening compliance, and giving confidence during audits or regulatory reviews.

Faster maintenance, better performance, and lower operational risk

When O&M information is held in a USB or spread across multiple systems or poorly categorised, maintenance works can be delayed and decisions made with incomplete data. Zutec eliminates risk by delivering clearly structured, searchable Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Manuals that allow facilities and maintenance teams to quickly find the information they need when they need it.

Reduced delays, stronger asset value, and future-ready information

Incomplete or poorly managed O&M manuals can delay Building Safety Regulator approvals, extend time to occupation, and create challenges during refinancing or asset disposal. Zutec helps asset owners avoid these risks by ensuring O&M documentation is complete, compliant and continuously maintained — not simply handed over once and forgotten.

By working with your contractors, and providing structured digital manuals that can be updated over time, Zutec reduces handover-related delays, strengthens readiness for asset occupation or transfer, and ensures secure, controlled access to sensitive building information. This future-ready approach protects asset value while supporting long-term operational efficiency and ongoing compliance.

FAQs

Still have questions?

What are Operation & Maintenance (O&M) manuals?

Operation & Maintenance (O&M) manuals provide essential guidance on how a building or asset should be operated and cared for after construction. They include key details such as equipment data, warranties, maintenance procedures, test results, and as-built information — ensuring the asset performs safely and efficiently throughout its lifecycle.

Why are quality O&M Manuals important for construction projects?

Well-prepared O&M manuals support a seamless handover, enable effective facility management, and help reduce operational disruptions and long-term maintenance costs.

Can’t we just create the O&M manuals ourselves?

While possible, compiling O&M manuals in-house is time-consuming and prone to error. By outsourcing to Zutec, you ensure consistency, compliance, and peace of mind — freeing your team to focus on construction delivery.

We don’t want another system. How difficult is the platform to use?

You don’t need to manage another system. Zutec does the heavy lifting — collecting, reviewing, and uploading your O&M manuals. You simply receive progress reports and can view updates anytime via our intuitive dashboard. No setup or training required. Your team can start benefiting from it immediately and move away from systems like Excel, which are not fit for purpose.

Will this add extra costs to my project?

Outsourcing your O&M manuals to Zutec can reduce overall project costs by preventing delays, compliance issues, and aftercare expenses.

How will we track progress on documentation?

Zutec’s dashboard provides updates on document collection and validation, ensuring full visibility throughout your O&M manual process.

How does Zutec ensure the documentation is compliant?

With over 25 years of experience and certifications in ISO 19650 and ISO 27001, Zutec helps you ensure your O&M manuals meet all regulatory and client requirements, reducing risk and ensuring a smooth, compliant construction handover.
