BSRIA seminar to explain the difference between Soft Landings & GSL

In a rare opportunity, BSRIA is holding a Soft Landings and Government Soft Landings convergence seminar on the afternoon of Friday 6th November, at the Royal Marriott Hotel in Bristol.

The seminar is primarily aimed at public sector clients and their supply chains, and will cover the latest developments in the Soft Landing process.

BSRIA urges those with a keen desire to deliver better performing buildings to attend. Soft Landings is taking off: from January 2016, Government Soft Landings (GSL) will be mandated, along with BIM, for all central government projects. It is also likely that general public sector projects will also include Soft Landings within their employers’ requirements from early next year.

This introductory seminar to Soft Landings is the place to start. The seminar will demystify the process of Soft Landings and the government client version (GSL). Expert practitioners will be on hand to help delegates get a good understanding of both processes, step-by-step, and how to apply Soft Landings on real-world construction projects.

Roderic Bunn, Principal Consultant, BSRIA, said: “Do you know how to respond to a tender asking for Soft Landings? If you are a client, do you know how best procure it from your supply chain? And if you are a contractor or professional designer bidding into a Soft Landings project, do you know what to offer?”

“This seminar will get you on the right footing”, he added. “Clients and built environment professionals both need to understand how to produce better-performing buildings at each of the eight stages of the construction project process. The seminar will also help you to identify problems related to occupant comfort and satisfaction.”

The seminar will be held at: Bristol Marriott Royal Hotel, College Green, Bristol, BS1 5TA from 13.00 to 17.00.
