How do I organise project documents for handover?
Last reviewed July 5, 2026
Start by categorising documents into key groups: contracts, drawings, specs, and reports. Then, create a clear folder structure. Make sure everything's up-to-date and labelled correctly. Use a checklist to track what's included for handover. Check that all documents are complete. Verify that everything aligns with project requirements. Alloovium can help you pull and structure data from your project documents for a more efficient handover process.
