ABSTRACT
On the majority of projects, the design team and construction team will have no Stage 7 duties to undertake. However, both teams might be interested in receiving ongoing Feedback, to help them understand how they might improve the performance of future buildings. The client may commission Post Occupancy Evaluation services to determine how the building is performing in use. Some client teams will continue to be closely involved during the life of a building, implementing Facilities Management or Asset Management strategies over the course of the building’s lifetime. Asset Information, the Building Manual and these strategies may be updated on a regular basis. In the future, a Digital Twin might be used to optimise the operation and maintenance of the building and to compare predicted performance with actual performance. In some Building Contracts, maintenance obligations might extend beyond Stage 6.
