Today’s construction in world travels at light speed and to have a construction team that is a skilled in all buildings systems is difficult. Commissioning is the key to help alleviate some of these (and other) obstacles. The commissioning process helps to ensure the finished building is operating as it was anticipated on opening day.
Building commissioning for new construction is a systematic process which documents systems are designed, installed and operate in accordance with the owners project requirements. The commissioning process is accomplished with a systematic review of the design documents. FST will then prove sequence of operations by inspecting equipment during installation and, when ready, test systems performance.
Where can you see Value in the Commissioning Process:

- Commissioning is not a just a detail on a checklist to quickly complete; nor is it something done from behind a desk. The commissioning process is a powerful QA/QC tool that clears construction issues out early before they develop into a problem later.

Use your commissioning provider to ensure the facilities group recognizes what it takes to operate the facility at optimum efficiency.
