A digital record for the life of a property.
Property Manual is being developed as a structured digital record that stays with a property throughout its life.
Properties change. Information gets lost.
A property can exist for hundreds of years.
During that time it may be sold, extended, repaired, refurbished and upgraded many times. Components are replaced, inspections are carried out and certificates, warranties, photographs, drawings and other information are produced.
Much of that information eventually becomes lost or disconnected from the property.
Property Manual is intended to provide a structured way of retaining that information throughout the life of the building.
One property. One record.
The concept is simple.
Create a digital record for each property where important information can be stored, updated and transferred throughout the life of the building.
This could include:
- Property and construction information
- Drawings and specifications
- Photographs
- Inspections and surveys
- Repairs and alterations
- Building components and materials
- Certificates and warranties
- Servicing and maintenance records
- Energy improvements
- Manufacturer information
- Information required when a property is sold
Instead of repeatedly trying to reconstruct the history of a property, the information builds over time.
Built to improve over time.
Every inspection, repair, replacement and alteration provides new information about a property.
Property Manual is intended to provide a structured way of retaining that information so that it remains useful to future owners, occupiers and professionals.
Over time, the record becomes part of the property itself.
Know the property. Record its history. Build its future.
