03 — Digital Handover

The asset record, delivered and defensible.

Handover is where the cost of poor information management becomes impossible to ignore. Digital Handover makes it the controlled output of a well- managed process — compiled progressively, regulator-ready, in the structure your client needs.

Why it matters

Why Digital Handover matters.

Handover is where the cost of poor information management becomes visible. A team of people working under deadline pressure to produce documentation that satisfies regulators, asset owners and operators — work that should be unnecessary if the data was captured correctly during delivery.

Inconsistency across the supply chain compounds the problem. Different subcontractors use different formats, different naming conventions, different levels of detail. Retrospective quality assurance means issues found late are expensive to resolve, and the supporting evidence to demonstrate remediation is often equally difficult to produce.

For asset owners, the cost shows up later still — when they discover the asset data they specified isn't there, isn't in usable form, or doesn't reflect reality. For contractors, it shows up as retained payment, disputes, and delayed entry into service. The Building Safety Act has made it a regulatory exposure as well.

Digital Handover closes this out. When the governance and assurance modules have been used through delivery, the handover pack already exists — verified, traceable, and ready to export.

Capabilities

Everything in Data Handover.

Testing & Commissioning Tracking
T&C activity governed against the requirements it answers, with full evidence captured progressively through the commissioning phase rather than scrambled at the end.
ITPs
Completed ITP records compiled automatically from the progressive assurance evidence captured during delivery — every inspection traceable back to the requirement and the work it verified.
Asset Data Validation
Asset data validated against client standards and information requirements before handover, not flagged as gaps at the regulator's review.
COBie Dataset Compliance
Structured COBie outputs prepared from the governed delivery record, in the format and structure the asset owner requires.
Final Inspections
End-of-project inspection workflows that close out cleanly against the gateway criteria defined at the outset.
Certification Completion
Every certificate tracked, evidenced and threaded back to the work it certifies — no missing documents at handover, no last-minute chases.
Digital Handover Pack Creation
Automatic compilation of the full handover pack from the delivery data, in the structure and format the client needs — exported directly to the client's CDE.
ISO Evidence Pack
A complete ISO 19650 evidence pack assembled progressively through delivery, regulator-ready and insurer-ready at handover.
eviFile Custom
Bespoke handover workflows for non-standard asset types or unusual client requirements.
Why teams choose it

Why teams choose Data Handover.

Handover compiled, not reconstructed.
The pack already exists when the project closes. No nights, weekends or scrambles.
Regulator-ready, every time.
Building Safety Act compliance demonstrable. ISO 19650 evidence packs structured to the standard. Insurer-ready record.
Supply chain consistency.
Every subcontractor delivers in the same format, because the workflow demands it — not because someone chased them for compliance.
Faster payment, lower dispute risk.
A defensible audit trail at handover means retention release and dispute defence both get materially easier.
Proof

Outcomes from the field.

50%Faster handover files
“Alstom — reduction in time to complete handover files to the regulator on rail signalling works.”
30%Fewer site visits
“Through real-time data capture across signalling works.”
20%Reporting efficiency uplift
“TransPennine Route Upgrade governance framework under pinning digital delivery across the full East Alliance.”
Alstom reported a 50% reduction in time to complete handover files to the regulator on rail signalling works, alongside a 30% reduction in site visits through real-time data capture. On a signalling scheme delivered with AtkinsRéalis, nearly 300 Wheel Detection Point records were managed digitally — saving an estimated 900 to 1,500 hours of manual document handling and significantly improving consistency and traceability into operations.
