This month at Horizon Engineering Associates, LLP, we're talking about...

What makes a great commissioning provider?

In today's fast-paced world, construction projects demand increasing technical breadth and depth. Without a skilled commissioning provider to lead the commissioning process, a project can be completed without meeting their performance expectations.

Your Commissioning Provider Should: 

- Have the appropriate experience. Read the qualifications of the team. Commissioning is NOT done behind a desk and field experience is a must. Getting dirty and wrapping your arms around the process is what commissioning is.

- Have a good understanding about design, construction and operations. The job of the CxA is to bridge the gap between design and construction, as well as construction and operations.

- Be organized, communicate well (both written and verbally).

- Be willing to listen and collaborate with the team.

- Be Credentialed. Building Commissioning Association: Certified Commissioning Professional (CCP); AABC Commissioning Group: Certified Commissioning Authority (CxA); Licensed Professional Engineer (PE); Licensed American Institute of Architects (AIA)
