Project Handover Success

For over 25 years COGNICA have completed over 6000 handover projects to the utilities and construction industries.  Let us take the stress out of document chasing, collation, cleansing, organising, approval management, review, and publication into the final delivery format as per your client’s needs.

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.

Sectors

Since 1998 COGNICA have successfully managed handover projects across a wide range of sectors including Water Utility, Education, Healthcare, Residential, Commercial, Government, Airports, Renewable Energy and more.

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.

Paper O&Ms to Digital Conversion

Do you have unwieldy boxes or folders full of paper O&M documents in different formats that need to be collated, and organised into a user friendly, digital, standardised structure? COGNICA will do this for you utilising our paper to digital O&M conversion service.  We offer a fully managed conversion of legacy paper to digital O&Ms, no project too big or too small.  Our team will catalogue, digitise and deliver your modernised O&M manual into a range of convenient formats for you.

Reality Capture digital twin laser scans with optional O&M document mapping

COGNICA utilise NAVVIS VLX lidar photogrammetry mobile laser scanning technology to rapidly capture large scale sites at speed.  Detailed RGB laser point clouds and high definition images are seamlessly meshed and explorable in Insite360, our secure, cloud application.  Enhance your reality capture by easily adding Points of Interest (POI) markers with embedded content, anything from O&M documents, Training Videos, Risks Assessments, Links to FM systems, Issue Reporting, Asset Maintenance Schedules, Sensor Dashboards and more.  Our customers use Insite360 to help them assess, explore, measure, export point cloud, train, monitor and manage their buildings and utility sites.
