End Systems offer services that can fully integrate into the project offering the complete solution from project/commissioning management through to documentation management.
Technical Documentation
Our Technical documentation services include Operating & Maintenance Manuals to BSRIA standards for services installations, Project Data Books for complete building installations, Tenant Information Packs for domestic installations and apartment blocks, Building Energy Log Books to conform to Building Regulations Part L and Interactive Electronic Manuals.
Operating & Maintenance Manuals are a requirement for any new building or building undergoing extension or modification. They should be prepared in accordance with BSRIA codes of practice and include detailed descriptions of each system, equipment schedules, recommended spares, commissioning data, operating instructions, maintenance instructions, fault finding, manufacturers information, schedule of record drawings, emergency information, health & safety information and manufacturers literature as a minimum.
Project Data Books are The complete manual for a building incorporating Design Information, Building & Structure Details, Mechanical Services Operating & Maintenance Instructions, Electrical Services Operating & Maintenance Instructions, Building Automatic Controls, Specialist Installations and Equipment, Maintenance Strategy and Health & Safety Documentation.
Tenant Information Packs are small individual manuals aimed at the owners of domestic properties and apartments with little or no technical knowledge but who still need to know the contents of their property and how to operate the equipment within that property. The pack includes details and locations of all equipment and manufacturers information on the operation of the equipment.
In England and Wales the Building Regulation Part L require that Building Energy Log Books be produced for all new and refurbished buildings other than dwellings and buildings (other than dwellings) where significant changes have been made. Prepared to CIBSE TM31(2006) standards the log books should be a dynamic document and be a summary of the building and its energy consumption. This allows the owner/manager to ensure the building is operating to satisfactory energy levels over the life of the building.
Building User Guides (BREEAM)
To enable a buildings user to understand and operate the building safely and efficiently, in the manner envisaged by the design team, End Systems Limited have developed the Building User Guide.
Under the Building Research Establishments Environmental Assessment Method, credit is awarded, where evidence can be provided to demonstrate that there is provision of a simple guide, containing information relevant for the non-technical building manger and occupants.
This guide can be contained in the O&M Manual, but must be an extractable or stand alone document.
Building User Guide’s provided by End Systems Limited, on a bespoke basis to suit the particular systems and design concept of your project.
