Commissioning Services

Commissioning Authority (CxA)

We take full responsibility for managing the commissioning process on behalf of the client or project management team. This includes:

• Defining the commissioning plan and procedures
• Coordinating all parties involved in testing and inspection
• Performing system checks and functional testing
• Reviewing design documents and technical submittals
• Verifying that performance targets and quality benchmarks are achieved

Commissioning Management Agent (CxM)

We supervise the commissioning activities performed by contractors or subcontractors. In this role, we:

• Monitor the progress and compliance of testing activities
• Manage communication among all technical parties
• Support integration of different systems during the testing phase
• Ensure proper documentation, traceability, and quality control

Independent Third-Party Commissioning

We act as an objective technical body providing verification and validation services for installed systems. This approach is commonly selected when neutrality is required by the client, investor, or regulatory authority. Our tasks include:

• Performing audits and system assessments
• Validating that systems operate as designed
• Providing certification and clear reporting for handover

Initial Assessment and Data Collection

We begin with a thorough review of building documentation, utility data, maintenance records, and occupant feedback. This helps us understand how the systems are currently operating and where gaps may exist.

System Investigation and Diagnostics

Our team performs site inspections, testing, and monitoring of mechanical, electrical, and control systems. We identify operational issues such as control misconfigurations, sensor faults, equipment scheduling problems, and energy waste.

Optimization and Implementation Support

We provide practical recommendations to improve system performance. This may include recalibrating equipment, updating control sequences, improving setpoints, or repairing components. We support the client through implementation and validate improvements with measured data.

Training and Documentation

We ensure that facility teams are informed and trained on new procedures or optimized operations. Updated operation manuals, test results, and performance logs are provided for future reference.

Reviewing Historical Commissioning Data

We assess original design criteria, commissioning records, and recent building performance data to determine deviations from intended operations.

Functional Testing and System Revalidation

Systems are re-tested using updated protocols to identify malfunctions, control discrepancies, or changes in sequencing. We verify that all components are functioning within the required parameters.

Corrective Action and Optimization

We support the adjustment of controls, repair of identified faults, and refinement of operational strategies to improve energy use, occupant comfort, and system reliability.

Performance Monitoring and Knowledge Transfer

To ensure long-term results, we recommend implementing tracking tools, provide updated documentation, and deliver hands-on training to operations staff.

Establishing a Baseline

We begin by reviewing existing system performance data and defining measurable benchmarks in coordination with project stakeholders and operational teams.

Integrating Monitoring Tools

We connect to Building Management Systems (BMS), Energy Management Systems (EMS), and sub-metering devices to continuously collect and evaluate equipment behavior and energy consumption patterns.

Ongoing Fault Detection and Diagnostics

Using data analytics and expert oversight, we detect abnormal trends, control loop issues, and inefficiencies before they escalate into costly failures or energy waste.

Corrective Strategy and Optimization

Actionable insights are shared with facilities teams to implement improvements such as recalibration, control adjustments, or mechanical upgrades. Regular follow-up ensures lasting results.

Transparent Reporting and Continuous Improvement

Performance reports and dashboards are provided to owners and operators, helping them make informed decisions and maintain accountability over time.

Our Role Includes

Coordinating and validating all commissioning activities across multiple vendors and subcontractors while maintaining full alignment with project delivery teams.

Simulating emergency and load conditions to verify real-life performance under stress or fault scenarios.

Reviewing and supervising system interlocks, redundancy strategies, and backup transitions, such as UPS and generator switches.

Verifying cause and effect matrices, including integrated response testing across HVAC, power, fire alarm, access control, and data infrastructure.

Why It Matters

In these environments, the consequences of system failure are not just operational but potentially life-threatening. Therefore, the commissioning scope extends well beyond startup and handover. It includes close involvement during design, construction, integration, and operation planning phases.

Client Engagement Models

Working alongside project management consultants as the independent commissioning agent.

Providing expert support to main contractors or subcontractors in fulfilling commissioning obligations.

Assisting operators in preparing for facility readiness, stress testing, and operational continuity validation.

Our Scope Includes

Managing the full process of commissioning documentation, such as method statements, inspection and test plans, test records, performance reports, and startup logs.

Ensuring consistency between site activities and documentation, so that all records reflect actual conditions and meet project specifications.

Preparing verification and validation records that confirm systems perform as intended under real conditions.

Supporting final documentation handover packages, including as-built reports and structured technical files for client use and maintenance teams.

Compliance and Oversight

Reviewing and validating records submitted by subcontractors or other teams, either on behalf of the client or the main contractor.

Conducting independent verification of key systems to confirm they meet design, performance, and safety requirements.

Aligning all documentation and system validation with contractual quality requirements, ISO standards, and project execution plans.

Early Identification of Issues

Review of schematic designs, coordination drawings, and technical submittals to flag inconsistencies, access limitations, integration gaps, or missing details that could impact commissioning or long-term performance.

Buildability Assessment

Evaluate whether systems can be practically installed and maintained in line with project constraints, site logistics, and industry best practices. This includes checks for clearance, accessibility, and material handling during installation and operation.

Commissioning Perspective Input

Provide input to ensure that test points, valves, measurement ports, and monitoring systems are included in design packages to enable proper functional testing and ongoing performance tracking.

Feedback Loop with Designers and Contractors

Participate in design workshops and technical coordination meetings to share findings and propose alternatives that align with the project's goals while respecting budget, time, and quality expectations.
