O&M Manual Software
What an O&M manual should collect
An O&M manual should help the client operate, maintain and understand the completed works. For contractors, it is also a record that completion evidence has been gathered and organised.
Checklist
- Asset list and locations
- Manufacturer manuals and data sheets
- Warranties, certificates and test records
- As-built drawings and revision references
- Maintenance instructions and recommended intervals
- Commissioning, inspection and sign-off evidence
- Contact details and document index
Start before handover week
O&M manuals are much easier when evidence is collected during the job, not chased after practical completion. Assign ownership early and link required items to the job checklist.
Zektrx connects O&M Manual Software, Project Handover Software Checklist and Construction Document Control Software.
