How Dewick & Associates’ Technical Team Ensures Compliance and Efficiency

Managing handover documentation from subcontractors can be a time-consuming and complex task. Builders and developers face ongoing challenges in ensuring that all required documents are correctly collated, project-specific, accurately dated, and signed before submission. Delays or missing documentation can disrupt project handover timelines, leading to financial consequences.

At Dewick & Associates, we leverage our extensive construction industry experience to identify exactly what documentation is required for Building Handover Manuals. Our expert team collaborates closely with builders and subcontractors to ensure all information is accurately compiled, thoroughly reviewed by our technical writing team, and submitted on time.

Our Process

At project inception, our knowledgeable Client Coordinator team creates a trade matrix using nucleus, our online portal, to outline the specific documentation required from each trade. Following a Set-Up meeting with you, the builder, the matrix is approved, and the document collation process begins.

As subcontractors submit documentation, our Technical Writers review all files to ensure they are relevant, project-specific, and include correct Defects Liability Period (DLP) dates.

Educating and Supporting Subcontractors

Many subcontractors may not be fully aware of why some documentation is required and how it will be used during the building’s life. In maintenance and operation. That’s where our expertise comes in. A key part of our service is educating and guiding subcontractors to provide the right information for handover manuals. By actively supporting them, we streamline the process and reduce the burden on builders, ensuring all necessary documentation is included—avoiding costly delays and compliance issues.
