O&M Best Practice

Experts in O&M and Technical Authoring

COGNICA’s experienced teams manage your O&M project, chasing all supply chain through to compilation, approval, ahead of delivery as your Digital O&M Manual package (or hardcopy) formats. Our team of Technical Authors can prepare numerous project handover documents including: M&E manuals, Preventative Maintenance Schedules, Asset Care Plans, Site Specific Instructions, Asset Registers, Regulation 38 Fire Safety content separation within the O&M manual, H&S files (collation), Site Operating Manuals, CIBSE TM31 Building Logbooks, BREEAM Building User Guides, Commercial Unit Guides, Home User Guides, Students User Guides and more; which are offered at 3 tier levels (Bronze, Silver, and Gold) to suit your project needs and budget. We’ll also convert your old paper manuals into digital format and catalogue those into modern digital O&Ms.

For all types of buildings, on authorisation from the Principal Contractor, COGNICA will provide Fire Safety content separation as its own section alongside the O&M manual, to support Reg38 sign off. The Fire Safety content must be approved by an authorised party (external to COGNICA) prior to delivery during Handover.

Digital O&Ms can be delivered to SharePoint

You’ll likely already have Microsoft SharePoint in your business, where you already store highly structured documentation for HR, Finance, Projects etc. As SharePoint evangelists, along with our other delivery formats including NaviDoc, NaviGo, PrintReady PDF, Files & Folders, direct into your own CDE, cloud delivery to your network, printed hard copy and more, COGNICA have been publishing digital O&Ms to structured SharePoint sites since 2007. Why pay external agencies for hosting your digital O&Ms when you can host them in your existing SharePoint site? Our O&M systems publish directly into SharePoint to automate the process of digital delivery in your environment.
