• Risk reduction: Up‑to‑date layouts support fire strategy, evacuation planning, and safe systems of work.

• Compliance confidence: Clear drawings underpin HTM/HBN compliance, statutory inspections, and audit trails.

• Better decisions: Accurate information improves feasibility studies, option appraisals, and business cases.

• Operational efficiency: Estates teams spend less time hunting for information and more time solving problems.

How it works:

1. Scoping session: Understand your estate: priority sites, problem areas, and existing information gaps.

2. Data collection: Gather and verify: site visits, legacy drawings, contractor records, and Estates knowledge.

3. Draft issue: Review with your team: check usability, accuracy, and alignment with operational needs.

4. Final record set: Sign‑off and handover: locked record drawings plus editable source files where agreed.

Designed around NHS Estates teams:

• Estates‑friendly language: Drawings and notes written for the people who use them every day.

• Capital & Projects alignment: Outputs that support future schemes, feasibility studies, and business cases.

• Flexible engagement: Single‑area updates (e.g. a refurbished ward) through to whole‑building record sets.
