What is Soft Landings? • A framework of activities for all key members of a project team • A process for designers and constructors to improve operational performance after handover • Gives more clarity at the inception and briefing stages about client needs and operational outcomes • Requires performance targets (such as energy use) to be set and regularly reality-checked through the project • Places greater emphasis on building readiness activities • Provides for a Soft Landings team on site during the settling-in period
Soft Landings User Group • Interdisciplinary user discussion • Test process • Share experience • Highlight barriers • Share data • Contractual implications • Create database of case studies • Define real examples of benefits

Soft Landings Revelations • Building projects will be judged on their operational outcomes, not their design specifications • Practical completion will no longer be the point at which a project team is paid and begins to disband • The Defects Liability period will be replaced by Soft Landings-type processes • Design teams will take greater responsibility for long-term performance of the buildings they create • Final payment in future will be on achievement against a range of Key Performance Indicators
