Government Construction Strategy
This identified need to improve public sector construction and contribute to growth and efficiency through a number of means. One of these was:
“Delivering alignment of design & construction with operation and asset management.”
This is by building on the BSRIA Soft Landings Framework to look at the project stages of:
1.Inception and briefing2.Design Development3.Pre-Handover4.Initial Aftercare 5.Aftercare 1 – 5 years after handover
Drivers: Expectations not matching delivery
Drivers: Benefit and cost is in asset performance and not creation
Government Soft Landings (GSL)
What is it?
A method to:
- Ensuring that projects meet the business outcomes needed
- Assess the needs of maintainers and users through their early engagement
- Combined with BIM a method to review delivery of needs through design and construction
- Working with suppliers, operators and users to ensure a smooth transition from construction to operation
- Assess the delivery of operational needs in use
- Mandated from Government Construction Board for full implementation in line with BIM
GSL Guiding Principles
• GSL will be a key element of the design and construction process maintaining the ‘golden thread’ of the building purpose through to delivery and operation
• Early engagement of end user and inclusion of GSL champion on project team during the design/construction process
• Commitment to aftercare post construction from design and construction team
• Post occupancy evaluation and feedback to design/construction team and lessons learnt captured for future projects
• Combined with BIM will provide a fully populated asset data set to feed into CAFM systems and modelling will enable planning modifications, this data will need to be maintained throughout the building life cycle
GSL Policy – Actions needed
• ‘Golden thread’
– Client to have clear targets around all or some of 4 areas at the start
• GSL Champion
– From client / end user: to oversee process using guide
• Commitment to aftercare
– Designers and contractors be engaged post construction. (Contractual approach being developed).
• Post occupancy evaluation and feedback
– Energy monitoring (TM22 )
– Other measures based on ‘golden thread’
– FM needs to be pro-active in change management
– Good practice commissioning to be followed
• Combined with BIM data needs to be fed into CAFM systems
– Being developed through BIM Technology Alliance Group

Focus areas
The role of the GSL ChampionCritical to ensuring that a project meets client and user needs and is maintainable.
Is not an additional cost or contractual role to the project, skills required already exist within Estates/ FM teams.
-Role identified within project team
-Act as a pro-active voice for end users and FM
-Support on delivering four areas of focus and embed measurements
-Identify and prevent traditional problems from being realised on government projects
-Ensure BIM data feeds into CAFM systems with fully populated asset register
-Maintain continuity of involvement with the project from concept to operation
-Ensure post occupancy evaluation and monitoring undertaken and lessons learnt feedback for future projects via BIM
Post Occupancy Evaluation & AftercarePerception of contractors by operators was one where they walk away from completed projects and leave client and building management teams to guess how buildings work or review reams of manuals.
Designers have not been incentivised to identify if the design has met the business needs.
GSL will bring a new focus to:
-Aftercare: Through handover and initial occupancy through a developed and resourced plan.
-Post Occupancy Evaluation: Establish success of outcomes against expectations and feedback.
-Standardised measurement key – TM22/BUS being explored
-Automatic population of CAFM from BIM data sets through COBie
GSL where are we now?
What have we done?
- Developed GSL to align with BIM
- Developed policy now agreed and mandated by GCB
- Produced draft guidance for implementation
- Identified and engaged with early adopter projects
What have we to do?
- Monitor and review guidance
- Develop methodology and measures for Post Operation
- Progress and review guidance with early adopters
- Establish GSL Champions
- Progress link between performance and contract
- Develop CAFM / COBie link
- Progress GSL Infrastructure
Next Steps for GSL
• BIM Task Group to manage implementation of GSL whilst ownership remains with GPU
• Updated pack of GSL Guidance documents issued
• Develop GSL communications plan & launch working with industry groups
• Identify standard Post Occupancy Evaluation methods and forms of measurement for tie back to design and construction
• Explore extended defects liability, contractual methods
• Monitor and track benefits of GSL trial projects and feedback lessons learnt
• Develop standard approach to input data from COBie to CAFM
• GSL infrastructure to be developed with support from ICE
• GSL implementation plans developed by Departments
• GSL Champions identified by central government departments
• GSL Champion Stewardship Group kick off meeting
The importance of the ‘I’ in BIM

What is digital construction?
’So where does NBS fit into this new (BIM) world? Our aim is to focus on the centre of BIM, placing 'Information' at the heart of the construction process. We will show that there is much more to BIM than enhanced visualisation and automatic scheduling’’ Richard Waterhouse, CEO RIBA Enterprises
Where are we now with BIM?
1. VisualisationsDesign concepts can be beautifully illustrated.
2. Unlimited drawings and schedulesMake a change to the model and the output documents update.
3. Clash detectionEliminate clashes prior to the construction work starting.
Now it is time to focus on the information in BIM
Quality digital information is transferred from briefing, design and construction to owner-operators of the building
Specification and 3D design run in parallel as separate but linked
parts of the model

How is BIM changing the specification process?
Traditional approach:• Specifications left until the last minute.• Separate documents, limited integration.
BIM approach:• Specifications assembled at earlier stages. • Integrated with other project information.• Specification information will flow through to
later stages of the project and be used by contractors and FM operators proactively.
• Specification content is connected for ease of assembly and greater precision.
How is BIM changing the specification process?
How is NBS changing?
• NBS Create is a brand new method of specification that is built for BIM.• Specify at early stages of a project and build upon this throughout the
project timeline.• Comprehensive product clauses with manufacturer options.• Specifications can interoperate between project team members• Clauses are connected for quick and precise assembly.• Specifications can be exported to COBie.
