First, let’s discuss what it is not. It is NOT a Silver Bullet !!!!! Why Commissioning?

It Will Not Eliminate The Need For Good Design It Will Not Replace The Need For Good Project Management It Will Not Replace The Need For Quality Construction

Why Commissioning? Ok, It’s Not A Silver Bullet. What Is It? It Is A Process To … Quantify And Document Project Goals Provide Means For Measuring Success Or Failure Provide Tools To The Project Team Design Supports Project Goals Design Actually Gets Installed Installed Systems Actually Work AND WE HAVE THE PAPERWORK TO PROVE IT!!!!

Why Commission? So, Why Commission? We always have Commissioned It has been after the building was occupied It has taken years to complete The design is often never fully implemented It has been very expensive We propose a better way Commission before the building is occupied Complete during design and construction, not after Build what is drawn Only pay once
