Compliance packs, handover dossiers, and register workflows that assemble themselves from source documents.
Document automation in engineering projects is not about scanning paper. It is about the workflows around documents: assembling master document registers, tracking comment resolution across revisions, preparing audit evidence, and delivering handover dossiers that match contractual specifications such as CFIHOS.
These articles break down where the hours actually go (chasing revisions, reconciling registers, formatting compliance packs) and how automation changes each step. Expect concrete evaluation frameworks, checklists derived from industry handover specifications, and honest coverage of what still needs a human reviewer in the loop.
