Building Lifecycle and Project Record Guides
A useful building record stays understandable as projects, owners and teams change. These guides show how to organize condition information, renovation history and handover files for the next property decision.
Follow the information through the building’s life
- At closeout: connect completed work with the relevant operating records.
- During ownership: keep repairs, inspections and changes tied to the correct asset.
- At a transition: identify current documents, open questions and the next custodian.
- Before another renovation: use earlier records to frame current verification.
