Eliminate post-construction risk. Hand over a financially stable asset.
AI Construct captures every asset from your construction documentation and turns it into a complete, independently certified handover package: the maintenance schedule, capital works plan, operation manuals and depreciation schedules a building needs to be run, funded and insured properly from day one. Captured at source, automatically, before the building is even handed over.
Independently certified by MBM, Chartered Quantity Surveyors (RICS), before the package reaches the owners corporation
Certified maintenance schedules and 40-year capital works plans delivered on live residential developments, traceable to source
Integrated with Procore and DLP Manager, so drawings come in and the building record flows out with nothing re-keyed
The building gets handed over. The risk gets handed on.
A developer's incentive ends at completion, yet a complex asset transfers to people who aren't equipped to run it. Owners can't maintain what they can't see, strata managers can't set levies against a capital works forecast that doesn't exist, developers stay exposed through the defects liability period, and insurers can't price the risk. Every one of those problems starts in the same place: the data needed to run the building was never handed over.
Thousands of pages of construction documentation handed over as unstructured PDFs. Assets buried in schedules. No usable maintenance, capital or compliance data.
Every asset extracted and structured automatically into foundational building data, a maintenance schedule, a funded capital plan and a certified record, so the building is ready to manage, fund and insure from day one, and the data keeps working for decades.
The result is post-construction risk designed out before the keys change hands. The developer hands over a financially stable asset, owners get a building that is funded and maintainable from day one, and the record keeps working to manage risk for decades.
Built for everyone who inherits the building.
Four parties inherit the building at handover. The same certified record serves each of them.
Developers
Hand over a financially stable asset and close out the defects liability period on the same record, and give the people who run the building structured data in a format they can actually use.
Strata managers
A certified maintenance schedule and a funded capital works plan to levy against from day one, so the first budget is built on real numbers instead of an estimate.
Building managers
Every asset, its maintenance regime, its warranty and the contractor who installed it, in one place, plus trade-ready scopes of work to go straight to market.
Insurers
Deliver an insurer-ready evidence base at handover. When insurers can assess risk confidently from day one, they underwrite less defensively.
Everything a building needs at handover, built from one data set.
Every deliverable below is built from the same asset register, so the schedule, the plan, the manuals and the depreciation figures agree with each other, and each one is reviewed by an independent Quantity Surveyor before it reaches the owners corporation.
Certified Maintenance Schedule
Every common-property asset with its maintenance and inspection activities, frequencies and estimated costs: the schedule the building is run on from day one. Independently certified and ready for the first AGM.
40-Year Capital Works Plan
A 40-year capital expenditure forecast for every major common-property asset, covering expected life, replacement timing, inflation-adjusted costs and recommended annual fund contributions, independently certified and data-linked to the maintenance schedule. Delivered as Word and Excel, plus a live capital works model online that updates as the building changes.
QS certification of both
Independent review and certification of the maintenance schedule and the Capital Works Plan by MBM, Chartered Quantity Surveyors (RICS). The QS Certification Statement is delivered to the owners corporation before the first AGM.
O&M Manual
The building's operations and maintenance manual: how each system works, its warranties, the subcontractor and supplier register and the system documentation, assembled from the handover set.
Homeowners Manual
A plain-language guide issued to every lot: what the owner maintains and what the owners corporation maintains, how the building's systems work, the warranties, and who to call.
Onboarding videos
Short walkthrough videos for owners, committees and the strata manager, covering the building's systems, the maintenance obligations and how to use the handover package.
Trade-specific maintenance packs
Trade-specific Preventative Maintenance Agreements scoped from the maintenance schedule, so the strata manager can go straight to market for maintenance contractors.
Depreciation schedules
Depreciation schedules for every lot, produced from the building's real record so each owner's assets are captured from day one. QS-reviewed methodology, provided in both standard forms.
Every deliverable can be independently handed to the people who run the building as structured data they can actually use, not a folder of PDFs nobody opens.
The two documents the building is run and funded on.
Eight deliverables come out of the handover package. Two of them are what the building is actually run and funded on, and both are independently certified before they reach the owners corporation.
Certified Maintenance Schedule
The schedule the building is maintained against from day one, built from the construction drawings and independently certified.
- Every common-property asset, with its maintenance and inspection activities, frequencies and estimated cost per activity
- Issued on the prescribed statutory form wherever state law requires one, ready for the first AGM
- Independent review and certification by MBM, Chartered Quantity Surveyors (RICS), confirming the schedule supports the initial levy estimate
- A QS Certification Statement delivered to the owners corporation before the first AGM
- Completion tracked against the schedule after handover, so maintenance can be evidenced at renewal
40-Year Capital Works Plan
Without a capital forecast, levies are set blind, reserves run dry and owners are hit with special levies. The plan fixes that from day one.
- A 40-year capital expenditure forecast covering every major common-property asset: roofs, façades, lifts, pumps, fire systems, mechanical plant and finishes
- Expected useful life and replacement timing for each asset, with condition and lifecycle modelling
- Inflation-adjusted replacement cost estimates, independently certified by MBM, Chartered Quantity Surveyors (RICS)
- Recommended annual capital works fund contributions, so levies meet future costs
- Data-linked to the maintenance schedule, so the asset register and the capital plan stay consistent
- Delivered as Word and Excel, plus a live capital works model online that updates as the building changes

Request a project assessmentThe price of risk is set by what the building can prove.
An insurer prices what it can see. An insurer-ready evidence base at handover means the building is assessed on what is actually in it rather than on assumption, and when insurers can assess risk confidently from day one they underwrite less defensively.
A sum insured that holds up
Replacement values come off the same QS-certified cost spine as the capital works plan, so the figure is evidence-based and defensible at every renewal instead of last year's number carried forward.
The evidence underwriters ask for
Insurers scrutinise new buildings for deferred repairs and undocumented maintenance, particularly around water ingress, façades and ageing plant. A certified asset register and a maintenance schedule with a completion record answer those questions before they are asked.
Placed by Unlockt
Unlockt uses the same building record to advise on, price and place the cover, from decennial liability during construction to strata insurance at handover and the renewals that follow.
One building record does two jobs: it certifies the handover and it evidences the risk. It is worth most when it starts at practical completion, so talk to us before the building is handed over.
Insurance is arranged by Unlockt (Unlockt Insurance Solutions Pty Ltd, an authorised representative of Ausure Pty Ltd, AFSL 238433). This page contains general information only; consider the relevant Product Disclosure Statement before acquiring any insurance product.
The record keeps working after handover.
Underwriters assess a building on four things: how much defect exposure is still open, how well the building is documented, whether maintenance is actually being done, and how transparent the risk picture is. The handover package answers three of them on day one, and the DLP Manager integration answers the fourth.
Maintenance that can be evidenced
Every activity, its frequency and its cost, tracked against the schedule as it is completed. Documented maintenance is what separates a straightforward renewal from a difficult one.
Levies that hold
The capital works plan funds replacement across a 40-year horizon, so the owners corporation budgets against real costs instead of discovering them as special levies.
A benchmark that improves
Every building we process sharpens the cost and lifecycle data behind the next one, so the estimates a building is run on get more accurate over time.
The same record that certifies the handover is the one the building is assessed on for decades.
Three steps to a certified handover.
Connect or send your construction documentation
Connect your Procore project or send drawings and specs, that's all we need.
AI extracts and structures every asset
Into your asset register, maintenance schedule, capital works plan and the manuals built on them.
QS-certified and delivered
Your certifying QS reviews and certifies online; the package is delivered through the portal before your AGM.
Independently certified. Defensible for the life of the building.
Every maintenance schedule and capital works plan we deliver is reviewed and certified by MBM, Chartered Quantity Surveyors (RICS), before it reaches the owners corporation. The certification confirms that the maintenance schedule supports the initial levy estimate and that the capital works plan funds the replacement of every major common-property asset over its life.
Because every line item is built from the construction drawings and specifications, each one traces back to the sheet it came from. If a question is raised at an AGM, during the defects liability period or in an insurance placement, the evidence trail is structured and auditable.
Where state legislation prescribes a statutory maintenance schedule, capital works fund plan or certification timing, the package is issued on the prescribed form and certified to meet it.
- Chartered Quantity Surveyor (RICS) certification of the maintenance schedule and the capital works plan
- Certification that the maintenance schedule supports the initial levy estimate
- Every asset and cost traceable to the source drawing or specification
- Prescribed statutory forms and certification timing met wherever they apply
Delivered with the partners who carry the building after handover.
Certification, defects and insurance all run from the one building record.
MBM
Chartered Quantity Surveyors (RICS). MBM independently reviews and certifies every maintenance schedule and capital works plan we deliver, and issues the QS Certification Statement to the owners corporation.
Visit →DLP Manager
The digital backbone for post-construction handover. Builders and developers use DLP Manager to run the defects liability period, and the asset register and maintenance schedule flow straight into it, so defects and maintenance run on the same building record the handover package was built from.
Visit →Unlockt
Unlockt advises on, prices and places building insurance from the same building record, so the risk is priced on what is actually in the building rather than a postcode average. Cover runs from decennial liability during construction to strata insurance at handover and the renewals that follow, each placement made against the certified register.
Visit →One building record, three ways in.
Each party gets its own interface onto the same building record, and sees only the projects it has been given access to.
Developer Portal
Upload or connect your construction documentation, track every project through extraction and certification, answer information requests and download the finished package. You see every scheme you own, and nothing else.
Strata Portal
The building's certified record, kept current after handover. Strata managers and owners corporations see only the buildings they are responsible for.
QS portal
The certifying Quantity Surveyor reviews, queries and certifies online, with every adjustment recorded against the register it changed. Reviewers see only the projects assigned to them.
Data in from where it lives. Data out to where the building is run.
Procore
Connect your Procore project and we read the drawings and specifications directly from it, nothing to re-upload, and every deliverable traces back to the sheet it came from.
DLP Manager
The asset register and maintenance schedule flow into DLP Manager, so the defects liability period runs on the same building record the handover package was built from.
Built by construction, insurance and technology operators.
Chris Polin
Chris brings deep, hands-on construction experience, with a career built around warranty management, defect resolution and smooth project handovers. Seeing how poorly post-completion defects were tracked and closed out across the industry, he created DLP Manager, software that centralises defect data and drives timely warranty close-outs during the Defects Liability Period. At AI Construct, Chris focuses on reducing risk, lifting compliance and delivering clearer accountability for builders, strata managers, owners and developers.
