Facilities Director Repository - Achieving Digital Document Perfection

Project Closeout Documentation

Processing Project closeout documentation is a challenge

 

  • Project closeout documentation is delivered by the truckloads
  • No early visibility of the massive amount of closeout documentation
  • Even though project closeout documentation could be delivered digitally, do you have a suitable digital repository?

 

FDR solves the closeout documentation challenge

 

  • Project documentation is accumulated in the repository as construction projects progress
  • Engineering and construction team members electronically upload project documentation
  • Documentation is categorized, with version control and metadata via an approval workflow
  • Result: closeout documentation is delivered/received digitally into a populated repository

 

Reality Check

 

  • The cost to re-create engineering documentation grows annually. Field verification costs to document as-built facilities can be more that a tenfold multiple of the original document cost.
  • More importantly, construction errors that result from inaccurate or incorrect versions of engineering documents can cause tens of thousands of dollars of expense or more, plus potential litigation costs.
  • A repository that does not mitigate these risks is an albatross.
