Technical Authoring ServicesBY LEN SALES - FREELANCE TECHNICAL WRITERLen Sales works as a freelance technical writer for the construction process and associated engineering industries. The need for technical authoring services to be given much greater priority should be clear... The ProblemClients are aware that the final documentation for any project, service or supply of equipment tends to arrive after the due completion date. If the technical authoring of documents such as Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Manuals is not planned properly, clients can use this element to withhold final payments and retentions until they receive, review and are fully satisfied with the documentation. The ReasonProject delivery teams are not always in a position to focus on the documentation aspect as it often detracts from their individual and specific roles within the project delivery process itself. Technical authoring is a specific discipline and often requires a bespoke approach due to the varying sources from which the documents need to be obtained in order to compile a comprehensive O&M manual for example. The SolutionBy using technical authoring services it will take away from the delivery team, the headaches of identifying and obtaining the required documentation from contractors, sub-contractors, suppliers, manufacturers and various other sources that make up the specific type of end user documents. As a freelance technical writer Len can liaise with the delivery team and identified contributors, focus on the documentation and ensure that the client receives them when they are required.
