Steps In Overseeing Successful Building Commissioning

By Joyce Walker


Building commissioning is a process that is involved when verifying that a proposed project meets all of the standard requirements when installing their systems of operation and running of the buildings processes without any hindrances. This is a procedure mainly used in the real estate business when overseeing construction of new buildings and also by architects and engineers.

For commissioning to be successful, it demands a few crucial steps be followed which must include teamwork from all of the involved stakeholders for more effective decision making and overseeing the construction to ensure that the steps are followed and anticipated expectations are met. The process success depends on these five steps being followed effectively.

Commissioning improves the performance of a structure and this is due to the increased abilities of energy saving and reducing constant operational costs. It is known that cheap is expensive and this is a reality in construction since the lesser resources you put in buildings contracting means that later in life you will use even more resources in an attempt to compensate for the cheap setup used earlier.

The next thing to do is to get technical with the designs and this means assembling a team if you do not already have one and equip them all with the proposed designs according to their respective fields and the role they will be playing in the construction. This allows new plans to be developed, reviews to be done, equipments to be tested and all errors to be contained early enough.

One may think that by saving by not conducting commissioning then they are making a good decision but they could not be more wrong. Without commissioning you will end up using more resources on systems failure and damages that would have to be necessary if a detailed study on the effectiveness of these systems had been done before and had been allocated in their right places.

Commissioning not only has after benefits but also has the before construction benefits, during the process contractors are able to measure the levels of success they are most likely to achieve and can also familiarize themselves with the risks they may encounter in the process. This helps in allocating the right amount of resources to the process without overdoing it or under doing it.

Building contracting helps in fulfilling everyones desires from the owners visionaries to the contractors ability to deliver quality work. Since it will mostly focus on fulfilling the designs the owner has in mind, contractors are able to work on those designs early enough and correct any errors in them hence preventing any sort of problems that may have been encountered prior to construction.

It is best advised to not walk into traps you have set for yourself through poor decision making or because of misguided information. It is better to have a future-oriented goal than plan for just a few years. Always go for quality over quantity.
