In many construction projects, the focus is on getting the work done, meeting deadlines and getting the facilities up and running. Technical documentation is often treated as a formality that can be completed later.<\/p>\n
However, this approach generates one of the most common problems encountered in receptions, technical audits and ISU authorization procedures: lack of work verification reports<\/strong> and the documents that demonstrate that the execution was carried out according to the design and applicable regulations. In many situations, the facilities exist and operate, but the documents that must prove how they were executed can no longer be identified or were never drawn up.<\/p>\n The C56 standard establishes the procedures for checking the quality of the works during execution. The purpose of these checks is simple: certain stages of the works must be controlled and documented before they become inaccessible or before the continuation of the following stages. These documents demonstrate that the works have been executed in accordance with:<\/p>\n Without these documents, after the completion of the work it is often impossible to demonstrate how certain construction elements or installations were executed.<\/p>\n During execution there are many works that can no longer be checked after completion. Common examples:<\/p>\n For these situations, hidden works reports and documents related to the determining phases are drawn up. These subsequently become an integral part of the technical documentation of the construction.<\/p>\n The technical execution manager plays an essential role in ensuring the quality of the works. RTE monitors whether the execution is carried out according to:<\/p>\n He also participates in the necessary checks and monitors the preparation of the documents that must accompany the work. The presence of an RTE involved from the execution phase significantly reduces the risk of problems occurring at reception or in the subsequent stages of authorization.<\/p>\n In practice, many difficulties arise several years after the completion of the works. The building administrator requests:<\/p>\n At that moment it is found that the following are missing:<\/p>\n Restoring these documents after years of exploitation is difficult and, in many cases, impossible.<\/p>\n The Construction Book represents the technical history of a building. It must contain information that allows understanding of how the construction and installations were designed, executed and received. The documents drawn up during execution are not only important for the initial reception. They are subsequently used for:<\/p>\n An incomplete Construction Book can cause delays and additional costs in any future project.<\/p>\n In the case of buildings and installations that require fire safety approval or authorization, the execution documentation is of particular importance. The authorities must be able to verify that the systems have been built in accordance with the approved designs and technical requirements. For fire installations fire safety<\/a>, the lack of documents can generate difficulties in demonstrating the conformity of the works performed. Among the frequently requested documents are:<\/p>\n When these documents are missing, the authorization process can become much more difficult.<\/p>\n During technical audits, situations such as:<\/p>\n These issues not only affect legal compliance, but also the ability to manage and maintain the building in the long term.<\/p>\n GreenSoft offers execution, verification and documentation services for electrical installations<\/a>, security systems and fire safety installations. In our projects we pay special attention to the technical documentation that must accompany the works and which will later be part of the Construction Book. We can also carry out technical audits to identify missing documents and assess the compliance of existing installations.<\/p>\n In many projects, the difference between a smooth handover and a complicated approval process is not the existing installations, but the documentation that demonstrates how they were executed. And these documents must be prepared during the works, not after their completion.<\/p>\n Request an audit of technical documentation and installations.<\/a><\/p>\nWhat are the minutes according to C56?<\/h2>\n
