Streamlining documentation handover

CDMS specialise in the provision of construction handover documentation solutions.

Utilising the Apex collaboration platform we are able to offer the most cost effective solution for principal contractors to compile comprehensive building and asset O&M information.

O&M information is compiled electronically, using the secure cloud based system to enable tracking of the entire documentation production process from draft issue to final delivery to the end user.

The system has been specifically developed to alleviate the problems associated with non-electronic O&M documents and provides complete visual control and management of all the required O&M documentation. Both the construction team and their client have the capability to monitor the progress of the O&M documentation delivery in real time, from the beginning to the end of a project.
