We Are Your Digital Commissioning Agent
The term handoff refers to the transfer of responsibility, control, or data from one party and/or system to another. In the AECO industry, this term refers to the transfer of drawings, digital models, asset data, and documentation from the design/construction teams to the owner.
This is a problem the industry has been trying to solve for years, Facility Managers have struggled gathering all the project data they need to successfully run their facilities from Day 1.
Imagine
receiving all your project-related data—accurate, complete, and field-verified—on Day 1 of Operations.
At Digital Handoff, we streamline the transition from construction to operations by ensuring that all vital information (as-built models, asset data, warranties, specs, manuals, testing checklists, and more) is delivered digitally, efficiently, and ready for use.
Our team blends the deep technical expertise of BIM professionals with the hands-on experience of Registered Commissioning Engineers. Together, we use advanced technology to optimize project closeouts and operational readiness.
We don’t just hand over documents—we deliver structured data you can use from Day 1.
Whether you're an Owner or a Contractor, we help you close out projects with confidence—fully documented, digitized, and ready for the future.
Standarized. Digital. Seamless.
We use technology to standardize the whole process, from the initial standards that need to be followed to the definition of the project hierarchy, the room numbers, the identification of assets, the attribute names associated with the assets, all the way to the commissioning forms.
This allows us to gather all the information produced in the design and construction phases and easily consolidate it in commissioning to ensure consistent information is migrated into the owner’s Enterprise Asset Management System.
What we aim to do is to allow owners to have all project information available on Day 1 of Operations.
Nothing gets lost in transition
Every data point is trackable
Everything integrates with your Enterprise Asset Management System (EAMS)
We ensure that your digital twin is born ready.
Industry Insights
The AECO industry still struggles with handovers. Here’s why we’re needed:
- O&M costs account for about 80% of a building’s total lifecycle cost.
- 2/3 of the owners received their closeout documentation between 6 and 18 months following the completion of construction.
- Up to 95% of construction-generated data never reaches operations.
- 46% of firms lack standardized asset naming conventions.
- 77% of firms miss project close-out deadlines due to poor or fragmented documentation workflows.
- Facilities using BIM report up to 30% reduction in maintenance response time due to centralized asset data and automated work orders.
- Predictive maintenance enabled by BIM-integrated sensors can cut equipment downtime by 20–25%.
- BIM-based real-time monitoring can lead to 15–25% energy savings
- BIM provides a single source of truth, reducing documentation errors by up to 40% compared to traditional FM systems.
- Projects using BIM for handover report 50–70% faster onboarding of FM teams.
- BIM improves space utilization by 10–15%, especially in large facilities like airports and hospitals.
- Texas A&M Health Science Center reported an 8.7% reduction in work order processing time using BIM with CMMS.
- US Army Corps of Engineers achieved 20% improvement in maintenance efficiency and 15% cost reduction through BIM adoption.
- University of California, Berkeley saved $1.2 million in energy costs and reduced consumption by 12% using BIM for energy modeling and monitoring.
- Singapore’s Changi Airport improved energy efficiency by 15% and reduced maintenance costs by 10% via BIM-driven O&M strategies.
- The U.S. Dept. of Energy projects that asset tracking during the handover phase can prevent up to $10 million in rework and inefficiencies within a project.
- 70% of firms still manage closeout using disconnected tools (emails, manual uploads, chat apps), making information loss, delays, and rework pervasive. (Newforma Study)
- 95% of AECO construction data goes unused, with only a fraction entering owner's asset management systems. (Autodesk Study)
