Soft Landings
Soft Landings helps to solve the performance gap between design intentions and operational outcomes. This performance gap can emerge at any stage in a project:
​
​​
-
at inception and briefing, where ambitions and requirements are set but may not be informed by experience and feedback from other projects
​
-
at design, where specific performance targets are set and regulatory compliance achieved, but those targets are neither re-visited nor reality-checked during detailed design
​
-
during construction, where budget shortfalls may compromise the best of intentions, and variations are made to the building and its technical systems that change how the building will be used
​
-
during handover, when commissioning and end-user training may be rushed or abandoned to meet deadlines
​
-
during initial occupation, where not enough support is available to occupants and the managers to ensure the building is set up for the long-term.
