Project Management
We provide client-focused project management services for UK construction projects, ensuring compliance with CDM Regulations 2015. Our team coordinates all phases from pre-construction to handover, managing timelines, budgets, and stakeholder communication. With expertise in complex sectors like healthcare and infrastructure, we deliver risk-mitigated solutions that align with client objectives while maintaining ISO 9001 quality standards.
Operation and Maintenance Manuals
Our technical authors produce CIBSE and BSRIA-compliant O&M manuals for mechanical and electrical systems. We collate data from subcontractors, ensuring accurate documentation of HVAC, lighting, and building fabric. These manuals, delivered digitally via Pyramid or in print, enable efficient facility management while meeting Building Regulations Part L requirements for energy performance tracking.
BREEAM Building User Guides
We create BREEAM-compliant user guides adhering to 2008-2018 standards, including both technical and non-technical versions. These documents highlight green building features and interface protocols, helping clients achieve BREEAM Management 4 credits. Our process includes site visits for annotated photography to enhance user understanding of environmental systems.
Digital Building Systems
Our Pyramid and Campus systems offer searchable, hyperlinked digital O&M manuals accessible via tablets or servers. These platforms streamline asset management for multi-site portfolios, integrating with CAFM systems like MiCAD. Clients benefit from secure cloud storage, rapid document retrieval, and automated updates, reducing reliance on physical archives.
Fire Safety Manuals
We produce Building Regulations Section 38-compliant fire safety manuals by extracting critical data from O&M documents. These user-friendly guides ensure compliance with UK fire safety standards, featuring stakeholder feedback loops and customisation to project-specific risks. Our manuals support occupant safety and property protection during building handover and ongoing operations.
