Building Operating and Maintenance Manuals



The operation and maintenance manual (O&M) defines the requirements and procedures for the effective operation, maintenance, decommissioning and demolition of the building. The operating and maintenance manual includes details of the building's construction, history and maintenance, instructions for its operation and maintenance, and guarantees and warranties.

With the ever increasing complexity of buildings, so increases the volume of operation and maintenance (O&M) information required to ensure the services are operated correctly.

Edocuments Electronic Operating and Maintenance Manuals (O&M) 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 digital 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.

As well as Mechanical & Electrical O&M templates, Edocuments can provide templates for Building Operating and Maintenance Manuals.
