O&M information

Operation and maintenance information handed over with a building: manuals, warranties, certificates and maintenance instructions.
Updated 5 November 2026Draft · awaiting review

Operation and maintenance (O&M) information is what the people who run a building need: equipment manuals, maintenance schedules, warranties, test and commissioning certificates, spare parts lists and health and safety information.

Traditionally delivered as manuals in folders or PDFs, it is increasingly delivered as structured data linked to assets, so each component's documents can be found from the asset register.
