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

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