O&M Manual Software
Handover is moving earlier
More contractors are treating handover as a live workflow rather than a final admin task. The reason is simple: certificates, drawings, photos and approvals are easier to collect when the work is happening.
What is changing
- Evidence is attached to jobs as it is created.
- Missing documents are tracked with owners and due dates.
- Drawing revisions and approvals feed into handover packs.
- Client review comments are easier to manage.
- O&M packs become exports from live records, not folder rebuilds.
Why it matters
Late handover admin can delay payment, frustrate clients and create rework. Building the pack throughout the job helps teams reduce the final scramble.
Keep quality checks in the process
Digital handover still needs review. Teams should check that documents are current, complete and approved before issuing a final pack.
How Zektrx helps
Zektrx helps contractors connect documents, inspections, photos, certificates, O&M manuals and client handover workflows.
