Purpose
To provide guidance with recommendations on the transitions from inception to steady state operation with a focus on the transition from construction, commissioning and system testing, through start-up, to achieve steady-state operation and use by the earliest practicable date for new, repurposed or refurbished facilities.
Existing guidance focuses on the project itself and the project team as a whole. This guidance will offer support with a focus on how the operational teams can be supported and be prepared to undertake works.
Key considerations will include but not be limited to:
• Smoothing the transition phase including building readiness, reality checking workshops and updating operational risk register
• Enabling the FMs to manage and maintain the asset effectively
• Optimising the operational performance of the asset and minimise performance gap
• Mapping Soft Landings and Operational Advisors Activities to RIBA Plan of Work Stages
• Hard and Soft FM
• Supporting FM to achieve its objects for the benefit of the users, owners and operators
• ESG including LCC, LCA, wellbeing, operational energy
• Interoperability of systems to increase efficiency and facility lifespan including smart systems and IoT
• User Experience
The standard will be complementary to BS 8536:2022 Design, manufacture and construction for operability. Code of practice.
