We take care of all your Tech 12 Handover Requirements for your USVF Construction Projects

Are You Delivering Construction Projects On A US Air Force Base In The UK?

WARNING

You May Be About To Walk Into A Very Common And Costly Problem For All Main Contractors Working on these bases…

…a problem that adds an incredible amount of pressure to the process and can stop you from receiving payment indefinitely, despite your work being done, if it isn’t fixed and fixed properly. This problem has been known to add well over 60 hrs of admin time to any build and can hold up payment for 2 years or more if everything isn’t signed and sealed correctly.

What is this ‘problem’, what is this ‘issue’ that catches so many companies out and creates unnecessary stress and holdups

It’s the ‘Tech 12’ handover process…the silent cashflow killer.

Tech 12 is a framework of procedures that ensure a full and comprehensive approach to the handover of any projects conducted on USVF bases.

In short – without it, you don’t get paid.

Did you know:

  • To handover and conclude the work on any new or refurbished facility/installation you need a complete Facilities Maintenance Manual.
  • This Maintenance Manual has 12 separate sections, divided into 97 different folders, each packed with essential documentation.
  • All systems need documentary evidence that they have been tested and commissioned to the highest standards.
  • All ‘snags’ or defects need documented proof that they have been rectified in full.
  • The Facilities Maintenance Manual will be used for the life of the building, including for maintenance and asset management

    This is the Tech 12 Process

    Normally…

    A Project Manager would be responsible for the collation and delivery of this vital documentation, including information and certification from each and every supplier.

     

    BUT!!

    This does nothing but detract that Project Manager away from the vital work that is happening on the ground – where your real passion and skills lie.

    Chasing and chasing for paperwork and ensuring that it is complete, organised and presented in exactly the right way can add untold hours and undue stress to what might normally be a straightforward build or refurb.

    Miss one detail and you can’t move forward.

    Again, this commonly prevents payment from being received by you anywhere near on time – despite the work being done, those facilities being ready for use and you having moved on to the next job!

    What if…

    • There was someone who actually specialised in the Tech 12 process.
    • Someone who ONLY worked on US Air Force projects in the UK and knew exactly what the end client requires.
    • Someone who could track down, chase and collate EVERY bit of paperwork throughout the project without you lifting a finger.
    • Someone who knew every nuance, every detail and all the pitfalls that catch so many companies out, saving countless hours of messing about.
    • Someone who viewed the Facilities Maintenance Manual as a project in itself and could handover every single bit of documentation, exactly as it should be the moment the project is complete, ensuring prompt payment to you and safety and security for all those using the facilities in question…
