Facilities Manuals

There have been moves to bridge the gap between construction needs and end-user needs, with the introduction of the CDM Regulations, and various research initiatives. Clear and specific guidelines are provided for a standard structure and content for the facilities management manual, which can be regularly updated during the life of the facility.

Edocuments can simply bolt on the necessary additions to your existing documents, including asset registers and maintenance matrix.

The electronic versions of the documents are designed to alleviate the inherent problems associated with paper based technical documents. Drawings, manufacturer's literature, certificates and other specialist data are all included electronically. The documents once created provide a replica of the paper documents in an easily stored, accessed, and secure format. For ease of use the familiarity, structure and layout of the paper document is retained.

Information can be communicated using a variety of methods to best suit the target audience. We can create, for example, an interactive image or drawing to denote a buildings fire exits or a complex system schematic. Intuitive symbols and menus allow the user to quickly and simply access the relevant information, whether that is literature, procedures, photographs, audio or video.

Edocuments can create custom templates to suit the end users requirements.

The details for the Documentation in electronic format  section apply to the manuals.
