Soft Landings and Government Soft Landings define the process. Digital Soft Landings provides the data layer underneath — structured, governed asset information that flows from construction into operations and enables every technology that follows.

BSRIA Soft Landings and Government Soft Landings are well-established frameworks for smoothing the transition from construction into building operation. They address process, collaboration, and performance outcomes. What they have never adequately addressed is the data.
Digital Soft Landings is the discipline of defining, capturing, structuring, and governing the asset information that is created during design and construction — so that it arrives at handover in a verified, usable, and technology-agnostic state.
It is not a platform. It is not a mandate. It is a data governance and assurance approach that sits beneath every technology an organisation will ever adopt — planned or unplanned. Get this right from the start and you are ready for CAFM, digital twins, ESG reporting, and AI. Get it wrong and every technology investment builds on sand.
DSL doesn't require new technology or a wholesale change in how you work. It starts with defining what information you actually need, then building a lightweight governance process to capture and maintain it — using your existing tools.
Digital Soft Landings is a knowledge and practice framework founded by Lucas Cusack of Cusack & Co. — independent consultants bridging the gap between construction delivery and asset operations. The commercial advisory practice behind the framework.
