When a project is being delivered what should owners be considering as part of the project handover? What is the record model? What does it look like and what does it need to contain? When should you be seeing the data? Should there be iterative points rather than all at the end or a consolidated dataset of the project? What type of Digital documentation for each asset should be provided and how do you eliminate disparate information that is not linked together?
