Review and package BIM models so the client or another project team can clearly understand and continue using them.
Forma handover
Organize relevant Autodesk Forma project information, workflows, and supporting documentation for transfer or future reference.
Team transition
Document key BIM workflows, model structure, standards, and known issues before responsibility moves to another team.
Archive preparation
Consolidate agreed project files and documentation into a clear folder structure for long-term storage and retrieval.
Typical Deliverables
- Organized handover package of agreed models and documents
- Review of model and file organization before closeout
- Final folder and document structure
