data matters

Send us Fan MailWelcome to Owner Perspective: What They Actually Need at Handover. In this episode, we explore what truly matters to owners when they take responsibility for a building at handover. We’ll look beyond the traditional transfer of paper binders and drawings to discuss what operational readiness really means, why current handover practices often fall short, and how the right information can help owners manage, maintain, and operate their buildings with confidence from day one.Speaker Geraldine Rayner, Summit BIM Data Matters

Send us Fan MailDespite the rapid adoption of BIM, cloud platforms, and digital workflows, handover remains one of the weakest links in the building lifecycle. In this episode, we explore why facilities management teams continue to receive information that is incomplete, difficult to trust, or simply not fit for operations. From poorly defined information requirements and inconsistent governance to the ongoing debate around COBie and the challenges of disconnected data, we discuss what really prevents projects from delivering operationally valuable information. More importantly, we look at what successful handovers have in common and why the future of digital twins, smart buildings, and AI enabled operations depends on getting information right long before project completion.Speaker Geraldine Rayner, Summit BIM Data Matters
