What Is Commissioning?

Commissioning is the step-by-step process of making sure a building or facility works exactly the way it should. It involves careful planning, documentation, testing, fine-tuning, and training so that everything runs smoothly and meets the owner’s goals and expectations.

What Is a Commissioning Checklist?

A commissioning checklist is a structured tool used to verify that all systems, components, and equipment in a project are correctly installed, tested, and ready for operation. It helps ensure everything functions as intended before the project is handed over.

Who Performs Commissioning?

Commissioning is carried out by a Commissioning Agent (CxA)—a specialized expert responsible for overseeing the process. Their main role is to ensure that all building systems function as intended, meet design requirements, and comply with industry standards.

What Comes Before Commissioning?

Before commissioning, pre-commissioning takes place. This phase happens after construction and installation but before full operation. It involves testing, inspecting, and verifying that all systems and components are correctly installed and functioning as intended.
