Glider Technology

Connecting construction and building operations with intelligent information management

Glider is a digital information management specialist helping the UK’s leading main contractors and estate owners take control of building data from design and construction, through to operation and beyond. We provide the tools, expertise and support to ensure that building information is delivered correctly, structured properly and made future-ready for long-term value.

Whether it’s for a new hospital, university, high-rise office or regeneration scheme, Glider ensures that the information contractors provide at project handover is accurate, complete and aligned to the needs of the asset owner.

Capture everything. Validate anything.

Too often, construction teams deliver beautiful buildings but struggle with the digital handover. Building information is fragmented, inconsistent, or simply too hard for owners and operators to use. This creates delays, rework and risk, especially when it comes to safety, compliance and operations.

Glider solves this by providing a clear structure for managing project and asset information. We help main contractors meet client data requirements from day 1, stay compliant with information standards and avoid a chaotic scramble at the end of the job. For owners, this means a seamless transition into operations, with a single reliable source of truth about their asset.

Delivering digital handover with confidence

For main contractors, Glider simplifies and de-risks the digital handover process. We support construction teams throughout the project lifecycle to collect, validate and deliver structured asset information aligned with ISO 19650 and any client-specific requirements.

Key benefits include:

• Faster, smoother handovers – Avoid the last-minute scramble for information with real-time progress tracking and data validation.
• Increased client satisfaction – Deliver a usable, structured digital handover for a digital soft landing that supports the operational phase.
• Improved compliance – Ensure alignment with information management standards and building safety requirements.
• Reduced risk and rework – Catch data issues early with clear workflows and checks throughout construction.
• Single system for O&Ms – Manage all documentation, models and data in one secure platform, ready for sign-off.

Our software and services can be embedded into your existing delivery workflows, giving you greater control and transparency. Whether you’re managing a complex phased handover or a fast-track fit-out, Glider ensures nothing is missed.

Why asset owners trust Glider

For building owners and estates teams, what happens after handover is just as important. That’s why we help ensure the data received is data that works.

We ensure estate owners gain access to a fully structured digital record of their building. This enables better maintenance, faster fault diagnosis, improved safety management and long-term asset value.

Key benefits include:

• Operational readiness from day 1 – Structured data and documentation linked to spaces, systems and assets.
• A future-ready digital twin – A solid foundation for adopting smarter building management, IoT integrations and sustainability.
• Increased asset value – Enhanced transparency and compliance improves long-term performance and occupier satisfaction.
• Consistent information across the estate – One platform to manage all buildings, new and existing.

From digital strategies to soft landings, Glider provides the technical support and guidance needed to align construction data with operational outcomes – bridging the gap between project delivery and lifecycle performance. We can also migrate legacy building information using the latest AI technology, unlocking estate-wide insights and enabling smarter, data-driven decision-making.

Future-proofing the built environment

At Glider, we believe that high-performing buildings start with high-quality information. Our team of construction and digital experts work closely with both delivery teams and asset owners to make sure the right information is captured, managed and maintained so buildings are safer, more efficient and more sustainable over their entire lifecycle.

If you’re ready to transform building information into operational insight & long-term value, Glider is here to help.
