Handover can be challenging, causing frustration for owners and everyone on the project team. The reality is that executing handover is a very fragmented undertaking. What if we started with clear requirements from facilities that prevent data loss and improve the outcome for all? Imagine if all asset data were collected, organized, and prepared well before the facility's opening. Envision preventative maintenance already scheduled and maintenance records readily available on mobile devices even before operations commence. Despite the abundance of data our industry generates, owners often find themselves with either insufficient or overwhelming amounts. Of all data captured in engineering and construction, 95% goes to waste after handover! This session aims to address the genuine need for building operations. You will gain insights into essential questions to prioritize the data that facility teams truly require, rather than what we assume they should have.

With 95.5% of all data captured in the design-build process typically unused or lost, digital-twin technology offers a powerful solution to this industry-wide challenge. We'll explore how these virtual replicas can bridge gaps in the handover process, securing data critical to successful facilities management.
