Building expectation into reality
The construction, refurbishment or alteration of any building project can be complex and daunting. Here at End Systems we provide a full soft landings service to ensure you have a trusted partner with you every step of the way who will bridge the gap between expectation and reality and help you really make the most of your building.
The Soft Landings Process
With End Systems as your soft landings partner we utilise our proven 5-stage process (based on the Building Services Research and Information Association industry-standard framework for construction delivery) to facilitate a seamless transition between construction and occupation – and beyond.
- Inception and briefing – An opportunity for designer, constructor and client to come together for initial discussions.
- Design development – Where the entire project team gain insights and learn lessons from similar projects and really start to understand how the building will work.
- Pre-handover – A chance for operators to really spend some time getting to know the interfaces and systems before occupation.
- Initial aftercare – Where systems are fine tuned, initial issues ironed out and post-occupant surveys (POEs) take place.
- Extended aftercare – Resolution of any issues from the POEs and recording of lessons learnt for future projects.
Using detailed planning processes including latest planning software and your own bespoke soft landings work plan End Systems will allay any apprehensions that may exist in delivering a facility fit for purpose.
