Building Handover Manual | Build to Rent Project, Cardiff – UK
Located in the heart of the Dumballs Road regeneration zone, this £55 million project is key in delivering Cardiff City Council’s Local Development Plan Strategy. United Infrastructure has delivered high-quality new homes as part of a mixed-use scheme on a vacant site in a highly sustainable, brownfield location on behalf of Ridgeback Group.
The project consists of 432 one and two-bedroom residential apartments across two blocks of 15 and 8-storeys respectively, providing much-needed homes for local people. The development will also offer indoor and outdoor amenity space, a public square, commercial space on the ground floor and extensive landscaping.
Dewick & Associates’ Role
Dewick & Associates provided comprehensive Building Handover Manuals, Health & Safety File, and Regulation 38 File for the project to ensure full compliance with UK Building Regulations and support the smooth transfer of critical information to the building owner and end users. These documents are a legal and contractual requirement for construction projects under the Building Regulations 2010 (as amended) and the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015). They ensure that the client receives all necessary information to manage, maintain, and operate the building safely and efficiently, including fire safety information, as mandated under Regulation 38.
The Value Delivered
Engaging Dewick & Associates to prepare these deliverables provided the project team with a professional, consistent, and regulation-compliant outcome. Our team’s expertise in interpreting technical and legislative requirements ensured that all documentation met statutory obligations while also aligning with client and principal designer expectations. By outsourcing to Dewick & Associates, the project avoided the resource burden often faced when compiling handover documentation in-house, particularly the coordination between multiple subcontractors, design consultants, and site teams.
The benefit of using Dewick & Associates lies in our ability to produce high-quality, fully compliant documentation efficiently, freeing internal staff to focus on project delivery rather than administrative collation. Our established processes, quality checks, and technical knowledge ensure that the final handover package is accurate, clear, and ready for client acceptance, supporting both compliance and a smooth transition into building occupation and operation.
