FM Handover Consultants
Your building is complete. The construction team is gone. What happens next determines how well that building runs for the next 30 years. We make sure nothing falls through the gap.
See the ProgramThe Problem
When a construction team closes out a project, they hand over O&M manuals. Those manuals were written by trades, for trades — organized by construction discipline, not by what a building operator needs to do. The warranties are buried. The compliance deadlines are scattered. The capital costs are unplanned. The person left holding the keys has a filing cabinet, not a program.
Structurally correct. Operationally empty. PM schedules with no tasks. Compliance calendars listing everything as TBC. Looks right on paper. Useless in practice.
O&M manuals forwarded unedited. Technically complete. Impossible to use without FM expertise. No operator can run a building from 22 volumes of trade documentation.
We translate construction documentation into a structured operational program — verified, organized, and ready to use from day one of possession.
Engagement Models
Mountain Owl FM Solutions offers four engagement models depending on where your project is and what you need. Every engagement produces a complete, operational FM program.
The construction team has closed out and handed over the O&M documentation. We receive that package and produce a complete FM program — organized, verified, and operational from day one of possession. The standard engagement for owners and housing societies taking possession of new construction.
See the program →A single engagement serving both the general contractor and the owner. The GC receives structured closeout support and a clean handover. The owner receives a complete FM program. The same documentation serves both — handled once, with full conflict-of-interest disclosure upfront.
Learn more →Engaged at the IFC drawing stage, we build the FM program skeleton before construction begins, refine it through the build, and finalize it at closeout — continuing through the warranty year. The program is complete and verified before the building is occupied.
Learn more →For buildings already in operation with incomplete or unusable FM records. We assess what exists, identify the gaps, and build a structured program from what can be recovered — without starting from scratch where documentation already exists.

The FM Handover Program satisfies the Division 01 78 00 Maintenance and Repair Plan requirement on BC Housing-funded developments. The program structure maps directly to Section 5 requirements.
Who We Serve
The FM Handover Program is built for building owners who need the construction team's documentation translated into an operational program their team can use.
Taking possession of a building your board will operate for decades requires more than a set of binders. We deliver the maintenance schedules, compliance calendar, and capital plan your team needs to run the building from day one.
BCH-funded projects: satisfies the Division 01 78 00 M&R Plan requirement.Closeout is not complete until the operational program is delivered. We engage at the O&M manual stage and produce the handover package on schedule, so the project closes clean.
Taking possession of a new building without a structured operational program creates costs that compound every year. We build the program before that happens.

The Principal

Mountain Owl FM Solutions was founded on a straightforward observation: most buildings are handed over without the operational program they need. The FM Handover Program is the structured response to that gap.
