Delivering Excellence Through Digital Execution

Introduction 

Founded in 1956, Leo Lynch is a specialist mechanical, electrical and process engineering contractor that supplies modular and bespoke process engineering and mechanical engineering. In addition, Leo Lynch delivers offsite manufacturing (OSM), lift and shift and various turnkey manufacturing, engineering and construction solutions to the life sciences, advanced technology, food and beverage, commercial and data centre sectors. With BIM coordination up to LOD500, extensive off-site manufacturing, and a strong reputation for quality and safety, Leo Lynch consistently meets the high standards of regulated environments. Over the last decade, Leo Lynch and EIDA Solutions have built a strong partnership, deploying EIDA’s construction management, commissioning and turnover platform across 25+ major projects in Ireland and internationally. This collaboration has become a cornerstone in Leo Lynch’s digital delivery strategy.

The Challenge

Before EIDA, project teams were spending countless hours manually managing documentation, commissioning data, and turnover packages through spreadsheets and disconnected systems. These manual processes caused:

• Rework due to version control issues and GDP noncompliance
• Delays in turnover submissions to general contractors and end clients
• Limited visibility across multiple trades and project phases
• Difficulty maintaining compliance on LEED, GMP, and BREEAM-certified projects

Leo Lynch sought a digital transformation partner that could unify documentation deliverables, standardise QA/QC processes, and provide real-time project visibility, ensuring a smooth handover process to clients.

“As a Quality Manager delivering complex M&E projects in the pharmaceutical, advanced technology, and data centre sectors, maintaining quality and compliance is at the forefront of what we do and EIDA has helped us massively in this journey to maintain our high standards. Before using EIDA, managing inspections, documentation, and handover data meant juggling spreadsheets and manual processes, it was time consuming, laborious and prone to errors.”

Pain Points 

Pain Point: Manual documentation handling slowed down approvals and turnover —> Impact: Delayed project completion and handover acceptance.

Pain Point: Siloed data between trades caused coordination errors —> Impact: Increased rework and compliance risk

Pain Point: Limited visibility into turnover and commissioning progress —> Impact: Difficult to forecast readiness or resource allocation

Pain Point: Compliance documentation requirements (GMP, LEED, WELL,NZEB, BREEAM) were time intensive —> Impact: Admin burden and risk of nonconformance

The EIDA Solution

To address these challenges, Leo Lynch implemented EIDA’s Construction Management, Commissioning & Turnover platform, structured around four solution pillars:

1. Centralised Documentation & Control

• Eliminated 80% of manual time spent downloading, marking up, and re-uploading files
• Maintained full audit trails of commenters and approvers
• Standardised and digitised vendor and trade documentation deliverables across all stakeholders

2. Digital Commissioning & QA/QC

• Enabled real-time logging of inspection and commissioning checkpoints from mobile devices
• Reduced error and omission risk through traceable workflows
• Delivered faster commissioning closeouts, shaving an estimated 2–3 weeks off final completion on large projects

3. Automated Turnover Pack Generation

• Compiled client-ready documentation deliverables instantly
• Ensured full compliance with LEED, WELL, NZEB, and BREEAM documentation
• Saved an average of over 100 workdays per project in turnover delivery

4. Live Dashboards & Analytics

• Delivered real-time visibility into system readiness, QA progress, and resource performance
• Produced data-driven insights to identify bottlenecks and drive accountability
• Shared dashboards directly with GC’s and clients, strengthening trust and transparency

• Trade documentation and data prior to testing and handover available in advance of System Turnover facilitating earlier commencement of C&Q activities

Results & Measurable Impact

• 80% reduction in time spent organising and submitting turnover information
• A fully traceable fabrication process where 50k+ welds can be tracked and handed over in confidence
• 2–3 weeks faster commissioning across mechanical and process systems
• 30% reduction in rework through consistent QA/QC tracking
• Zero non-conformances during commissioning audits (documentation) on flagship projects
• Improved visibility, compliance, and client satisfaction across all project phases

EIDA has transformed how we deliver projects. From Quality Assurance through to handover and commissioning, everything is now traceable, collaborative, and audit-ready. It’s become an integral part of how we ensure quality for our clients. All key areas work and come together seamlessly, streamlining the entire process and eliminating unnecessary admin, rigid man hours, and the usual headaches.”
