Zutec (formerly DFM Systems)
Digital handover, building information, quality, and compliance platform
Zutec acquired DFM Systems in 2024 and unified it under the Zutec brand in March 2026. The current platform manages digital safety files, O&M manuals, quality inspections, common project data, building handover, and operational asset information across construction and facilities workflows.
Why This Tool Exists
Construction teams manually organize 100+ pages of as-built drawings, technical product data, O&M procedures, and compliance certifications into scattered folders and physical binders. During project handover, critical information is often missing, duplicated, or incorrectly filed, delaying practical completion and creating safety and compliance risks. Building owners lack structured access to critical operational and maintenance information.
Structured cloud platform that guides document controllers through validated templates to capture all required handover documentation during construction phases. System validates completeness of digital safety files, hosts documents in searchable cloud repository, and provides field technicians instant mobile access via QR codes placed on building assets. Dashboards enable formal sign-off and review before practical completion.
