Digital handovers made easier for main contractors
Structured, compliant and accurate information for seamless project delivery.
Deliver complete, accurate and compliant information at handover
Main contractors face pressure to deliver high-quality and compliant project information at practical completion. Complex supply chains, varied formats and tight deadlines make digital handover challenging.
Glider supports digital handover for main contractors by helping project teams define, capture, validate and deliver the right information throughout design and construction. You can hand over a complete and compliant digital O&M that is right first time.
Our software and services support efficient information capture from subcontractors, reduce rework and ensure documentation meets project, safety and compliance requirements.
What Glider helps main contractors achieve
- Work more efficiently by standardising information capture
- Validate and approve asset information during delivery
- Minimise rework and late-stage information gaps
- Improve collaboration across suppliers and project partners
- Deliver accurate and compliant digital O&M information
- Meet AIR, EIR and ISO 19650 requirements

How main contractors fit into Asset Intelligence
Main contractors play a crucial role in establishing the information foundation that asset owners rely on long after construction completes. Asset Intelligence begins in delivery, where information is defined, captured and validated so it can be trusted long after construction completes.
With Glider, contractors can:
- Define project information requirements clearly
- Validate documents, drawings and asset data before handover
- Ensure supply chain deliverables meet standards and naming conventions
- Maintain audit trails and status tracking for all information
- Support the Golden Thread with accurate, traceable data
- Reduce downstream information debt for FM and operations teams
