About This Automation

Commissioning and handover documentation involves gathering test results, compliance records, asset inventories, and operational manuals from multiple sources, then assembling them into a branded client handover pack.

Automation aggregates all project data and documentation from management systems and shared drives, automatically populates a branded template, and generates a polished, client-ready handover pack in minutes.

Key features:
Automatically retrieve project metadata, test results, and compliance records from management systems and shared drives
Identify and flag missing documentation gaps for human follow-up before assembly begins
Populate a branded handover template with aggregated data and auto-format content with page numbering and table of contents
Send automated requests to engineers and subcontractors for missing sign-offs and track response status
Generate a polished, client-ready PDF handover pack ready for signature within minutes

The issues teams report most often with this process

#Friction pointCompanies Report This
1
Chasing missing sign-offs
Engineers and subcontractors delay providing test certificates and approvals, requiring multiple follow-up emails and phone calls.
80%
2
Scattered documentation sources
Test results, compliance records, and asset lists are stored across email, shared drives, and project folders, requiring manual search and compilation.

3
Manual template population
Copying and pasting data into the handover template is repetitive, time-consuming, and introduces formatting inconsistencies.

4
Quality review rework
Errors in data entry, missing sections, and outdated information discovered during review require corrections and reassembly.

5
Delayed project closure
Handover pack assembly takes 5-7 days after project completion, delaying final sign-off and project status updates.

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Project Reaches Practical Completiontrigger

Automation is triggered when a project status changes to 'Practical Completion' in the project management system. The system captures the project ID and retrieves core project metadata.

2. Fetch Project Data and Compliance Records

The automation queries the project management system and to retrieve project scope, timeline, test results, compliance checklists, and asset lists. Missing documents are flagged.

3. Auto-Generate Handover Pack

A document generation populates a branded handover template with project data, test results, inventory, and operational notes. The pack is formatted, numbered, and indexed automatically.

4. Request Missing Sign-Offs via Email

An email sends automated requests to engineers, subcontractors, and compliance officers for any missing test certificates or approvals, with a deadline and direct links to upload.

5. Deliver Handover Pack to Client

Once all sign-offs are collected, the completed handover pack is sent to the client via email with a request for signature and feedback.
