Building Log Book

About the Building Log Book



Edocuments are an accredited CIBSE log book developer, and can offer a log book creation services however simple or complex the project, for your log book duties under Part L2.

Edocuments have been associated with the CIBSE panel for the development of the L2 log book 'Naturally Ventilated School' template. We were pleased to assist CIBSE in preparing the Log Book alongside the Client Essex County Council.

The building log book is analogous to a simple car handbook, providing the building manager with easily understood information about how the building is meant to work. It also allows ongoing building performance and major alterations to be recorded.

The log book should be reviewed annually as part of the organisations quality assurance system and an entry should be made for each review.
