Global Commissioning

  Global Commissioning Companies •         It is the responsibility of the commissioning authority to make sure that all building systems perform optimally while meeting the functional and operational requirements of the owner. •         Typically, global commissioning companies begin by setting expectations and explaining their role. The initial commissioning meetings should be held during the design and construction phases, involving a representative from every party. •         Keep reading to know what the commissioning authority needs from the team during the construction phase and what the standards for communication should look like . Effective Use of Emails •         You may think that emails make it easier for a team to maintain communication. But, is it so?! Note that commissioning is not always on the top of minds of projec...

  2010 report, “A Glass Half Full” by the Local Government Association (LGA) • Be in line with the initiatives that focus on wellbeing and place-shaping • Promote involvement at the population-level, not just in the commissioning process, but also to decide the activities to be commissioned • Facilitate co-production of health care with 3rd-sector users and organisations • Consider ways to invest in long-term outcomes and measure outcomes. Consensus on the Common Hurdles According to the U.K. Ministry of Housing, Local Communities and Government, there is a consensus on the common hurdles to asset-based commissioning that involve: • A short-term focus • A top-down approach • Siloed working • Transactional decision making, and • Inability to leverage additional funding. Annotated Commissioning Cycle Here’s is the annotated commissioning cycle which explains the processes that are required to be incorporated into a commissioning cycle. •  Insight:  Commissioning management ...

  Commissioning - Turnover Phase •         The turnover phase of any construction project is a well-ordered shift of building operations to the operation and maintenance (O&M) team from the project commissioning management services team. •         This transition is physical, signifies completion of commissioning-specific activities and involves knowledge transfer in the form of documentation. •         A successful transition is said to occur when the commissioning-specific documentation is complete, fully organised, building systems are operable as per the design and O&M personnel are trained appropriately to operate the systems. Up to Date As-Built Documentation •         Construction projects are largely directed by design documents that elucidate and describe countless working elements that require to be put together for ...

  Commissioning engineers, project managers, civil engineers and/or managers almost always need to report on multiple teams at a time while meeting strict deadlines. Commissioning management systems software tools make it possible to plan the entire commissioning process right at the outset of the project, instead of waiting until the project closeout. Find here why the convention deficiency tracking methods don’t work anymore, how you can improve the entire process of project commissioning and what the key features of an advanced Commissioning Management Software (CMS) are. Conventional Deficiency Tracking Traditionally, project deliverables and deficiencies have been monitored on spreadsheets and paper-based documents. In general, walk-down inspection of the equipment are performed with the associated consultants, contractors and clients. During these walkthroughs, all stakeholders have their chance to figure out deficiencies that are added to a spreadsheet, which may give rise t...
