The Good Digital Handover (What You Need to Know)

The operation phase of a building is the longest stage in its lifecycle, yet it’s often the most overlooked when it comes to data management and digital processes. In this video, Jonas and Elia discuss what a good digital handover really looks like — and why it’s far more than simply delivering documentation at the end of a project. Instead, it’s about structured, usable data that facility managers can rely on for years. You’ll learn: Why ICT agreements and data requirements must be defined early How to involve facility management teams before construction begins The importance of generic data structures instead of overly specific requirements Why requesting too much data can actually reduce quality How classification systems like CCS/CCI fit into digital building workflows Why many digital handovers fail — and how to avoid losing years of valuable project data You can watch the entire episode 77 of Inventing Construction here:    • Episode 77 - Why Construction Handovers Go...   🎧 ...or you can listen to it here: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2aAxc0i...
