On your next construction project, whether it is a new building or a major renovation, you have an important question to answer. Will you, or will you not, make commissioning part of the formal construction process?
If you decide not to perform a formal commissioning process, you have made the decision to risk beginning ownership of a building fraught with problems, most of which could have been avoided. Commissioning is the only process that will give you the best chance to not only discover the problems early, but also to get them corrected before the contractor has left and the operations staff takes over.
