A common misconception in the Construction Industry is that commissioning is ‘at the end of the project’, however believe it or not, to add value and save money on your project, and to obtain the correct building which operates as required, it is crucial that the Commissioning management process commences at the design stages and is monitored regularly throughout the construction process.
Carrying out a Commissioning focused review at the design stages of a contract defines the required Commissioning Strategy and ensures that the Commissioning process/activities have been clearly and logically integrated into the overall design and programme of works. Our commissioning managers are trained to identify the risks and mitigate these using the correct monitoring tools required to suit the project (Risk Schedules, Activity Schedules, Trackers, etc).
Review of the Contractors/Specialists Commissioning Programme which is developed to interface with all the necessary specialists and trade contractors gives a holistic approach to the close out stages of the project. We ensure that all Commissioning Method Statements and Risk Assessments are scheduled and approved prior to commencement of works.
Our managers will chair regular commissioning meetings to ensure communication with all parties is clear, allowing areas of concern to be addressed prior to becoming issues. The witnessing of the testing will be undertaken throughout the construction period at the required intervals with pressure testing and Building Control testing during construction, and with final witness testing as well as Integrated System Testing (IST) following as required. We will arrange client witnessing also as required.
Final performance documentation will be collated, and provided along with the necessary Commissioning Reporting. Final handover will be achieved with Client Training and Seasonal Commissioning.
