Soft Landings Revelations 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 15
