Overview
This publication has been superseded by BG 79/2020 Handover information and O&M manuals.
This guide contains valuable guidance for designers and building owners on the handover procedures and operating requirements for new buildings. It explains the legal obligations on construction professionals for providing information to the client on handover, the requirements of building logbooks, and the process for providing operating and maintenance manuals. It also provides a model specification for O&M manuals and lists design and project feedback tools that designers can use to close the loop between design intention and subsequent building operation.
