Abstract

Outlines the Department for Education’s (DfE) process for managing the transition from project briefing and design through construction, handover, and occupation, with the overall aim of achieving optimal building performance. It promotes effective collaboration, clear performance requirements, structured asset information management, user training, and post-occupancy evaluation to ensure facilities meet end-user needs and operate as intended. The guide also supports continuous improvement through aftercare, performance monitoring, and lessons learned throughout the project lifecycle.
