Episode 77 - Why Construction Handovers Go Wrong (And How to Avoid It) feat. Jonas Brandenborg

The construction industry often treats handover as the end of the project, instead of what it really is: the beginning of a building’s operational life.

A lot of building data is created every year, and most of it is lost the day the building opens. The moment the building is handed over to operations, most project information becomes surprisingly difficult to use, or is delivered too late.

In today's episode, we speak with Jonas Brandenborg, an ICT coordinator at Bygningsstyrelsen (The Danish Building and Property Agency). His experience highlights a simple but uncomfortable truth about the challenges of handovers: the problem isn’t a lack of data.
It’s a lack of planning for how that data will actually be used by facilities management.

What you'll learn from today's episode of Inventing Construction:

- The industry wide problems with construction handovers
- What is a good digital handover (what you need to know)
- How to plan a succesful digital handover
- The changes coming to facility management
