O&M manual tracker
Job registerWhich manuals are owed, which have arrived, what is in them, and what has to come back.
Owed, arrived, or coming back
There are three states an O&M manual is ever in, and closeout stalls because nobody can say which one each is in. Section, who owes it, what arrived, what has to be resubmitted — four columns and the meeting takes ten minutes.
It holds no files and reviews nothing
No document is uploaded or read, no required contents are published, and marking a manual accepted is your note rather than anybody's approval. The review itself is done by whoever your contract says does it.
Around it
Drawings are the as-built register and training is the owner training log. Everything owed at the end sits on the closeout checklist.
An administrative tracker. It holds and reads no files, publishes no required manual contents, and accepting a manual here is your own note rather than any professional approval. Everything runs on your device.
Questions people ask
- Does it hold the manuals themselves?
- No. No file is uploaded or stored by this product. The manuals live wherever your job puts them; this tracks which are owed, which have arrived, what is in each and what has to come back.
- What has to be in an O&M manual?
- Whatever your specification says — usually cut sheets, start-up reports, parts lists, maintenance instructions, warranties and spare parts, but it varies by section and by job. The tool publishes no required contents, because the requirement is in your documents rather than on a website.
- Is accepting a manual here an approval?
- It is your administrative note that you are satisfied with what arrived. It is not an approval by an architect, an engineer or an owner, and nothing here reviews a manual or checks it against anything.
- Why by spec section?
- Because that is how they are owed. Manuals arrive from the contractor responsible for a section, and tracking them any other way means reconciling two lists at the point when everybody is trying to leave.
