Compliance Handover Review

Understand the records, outstanding actions and upcoming requirements when taking over a building.

Bigness Built Environment helps property owners and managing agents across London review the compliance information received during a building handover.

Whether you are taking over management, acquiring a property or inheriting fragmented records, we help establish what is available, what needs clarification and what should happen next.

Bring the Information Together

A handover may include certificates, inspection reports, maintenance records and contractor correspondence held across different folders and systems.

Bigness brings that information into an organised review, connecting inspection findings with recorded actions and completion evidence.

The objective is a clear starting position for managing the building.

What We Review

Depending on your building and agreed scope, the review can cover available records relating to:

• Fire risk assessments and outstanding recommendations.
• Fire doors, fire alarms and emergency lighting.
• Electrical inspections and remedial works.
• Gas safety and heating plant.
• Legionella assessments and water hygiene monitoring.
• Asbestos surveys, registers and management plans.
• Lift examinations and reported defects.
• Commercial EPCs and TM44 inspections.
• Relevant servicing records and contractor completion documents.

We confirm which areas are included before the review begins.

Identify Gaps and Unresolved Actions

We check the supplied information for missing documents, unclear inspection dates, recorded renewal requirements and actions without clear completion evidence.

Where records conflict or a report needs technical interpretation, we identify the issue and seek clarification from the appropriate specialist.

A missing document is recorded as an information gap. Further enquiries or inspections may be needed to establish the actual position.

Establish the Next Steps

Bigness organises the findings into a practical action register, distinguishing between:

• Documents or information to obtain.
• Dates and requirements to confirm.
• Outstanding actions from existing reports.
• Inspections or specialist reviews to arrange.
• Remedial works requiring a defined scope and quotation.

Priorities reflect the available specialist findings, stated deadlines and matters requiring prompt attention.

Coordinate Clarification and Follow-up

Where included in the agreed service, we can liaise with the outgoing managing agent, existing contractors or inspection providers to request missing records and clarify outstanding matters.

We can also arrange specialist attendance, obtain quotations and coordinate approved works.

This keeps the handover review connected to the activities needed to establish ongoing control.

Depending on the agreed scope, you receive:

• An index of the compliance documents reviewed.
• A summary of recorded inspection and renewal dates.
• A list of missing information and unresolved questions.
• An action register with available supporting references.
