What is soft landings approach?
The term ‘soft landings’ refers to a strategy adopted to ensure the transition from construction to occupation is ‘bump-free’ and that operational performance is optimised. This transition needs to be considered throughout the development of a project, not just at the point of handover.

What is a hard landing in the project delivered?
A hard landing refers to a marked economic slowdown or downturn following a period of rapid growth.
When was soft landings introduced?
The Soft Landings Framework was launched by BSRIA and UBT in 2009 and has attracted much interest and support, including from Central Government who launched their own version, Government Soft Landings (GSL) in 2016.
What’s another word for soft landing?
air-to-air, airspeed.
What role does the UK government soft landings GSL policy play in this context?
Government Soft Landings (GSL) can play an important role in enabling a smooth transition from construction to operation. This approach, and its focus on early end-user engagement, helps to realise better public-sector value from the construction process, a key objective of the UK Government.
When was the first soft landing on the moon?
The Luna 9 spacecraft, launched by the Soviet Union, performed the first successful soft Moon landing on 3 February 1966.
What is a soft landing on the moon?
A ‘soft landing’ takes place when a spacecraft lands intact on the lunar surface and does not, intentionally or otherwise, crash. The Moon Lander Vikram which separated from its orbiting mothership has already performed two manoeuvres to lower its altitude for a perfect touchdown.
What is a soft landings manager?
Soft landings and Government Soft Landings GSL is essentially a set of facilities management-driven requirements for a well-performing building, detailing a set of activities and tasks that should be undertaken on delivery of a project. These are defined and managed by a GSL client sponsor and a project GSL champion.
Which countries have made a soft landing on the moon?
Uncrewed landings In 1966, the USSR accomplished the first soft landings and took the first pictures from the lunar surface during the Luna 9 and Luna 13 missions. The U.S. followed with five uncrewed Surveyor soft landings.
What was the first spacecraft to soft land on the Moon?

Luna 9 was the first spacecraft to achieve a lunar soft landing and to transmit photographic data from the Moon’s surface to Earth, preceding the U.S. Surveyor 1 soft lander by about 4 months.
What was the first spacecraft to achieve a soft landing on the Moon?
What is the BSRIA Soft Landings Framework?
One of the key guides is the Soft Landings Framework. The first framework was published by BSRIA in 2009 and went through minor revisions in 2014. The intention of the guide was to explain how soft landings could be implemented by 5 stages of activity throughout the project.
What is the soft landings policy?
Provides an overview of the Government Soft Landings (GSL) policy and a comparison with the BSRIA Soft Landings Framework. The package of principles that should be adopted in their entirety in order for a construction project to be deemed a true Soft Landings project.
How can BSRIA help you?
BSRIA can help you understand what your corporate drivers are, and produce a detailed Soft Landings strategy aimed at helping you to achieve those goals. BSRIA can help you to set your success criteria and identify appropriate Soft Landings activities that will enable the success criteria to be met.
How do soft landings and design for performance work together?
Explains how Soft Landings and Design for Performance can work together to embed a focus on performance outcomes in new build and major refurbishment projects. The Soft Landings Framework includes all the procedures for applying Soft Landings, plus checklists and generic work plans.
