Project Completion
Building Commissioning or Project Completion is the process of ensuring, in new construction, that all the subsystems for HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, Fire/Life safety, and Building Security are operating as intended by the building owner and as designed by the building architects and engineers. Building commissioning is a quality assurance process for the complexity of modern construction projects.
Normally the commissioning firm is involved from project initiation to completion. While the service methodology can vary from firm to firm and project to project, the basic formula for successful building commissioning involves a synergy of pre-construction review of design documents for compliance with the Owner's Performance Requirements (OPR), periodic site observations during the construction phase, and systems performance testing as the project nears completion.
While the practice of building commissioning, (building project completion), is still new in the construction industry, it has quickly become common practice as savvy building owners and developers have seen substantial returns on their investment. The ultimate goal of the commissioning provider is to deliver for the owner a project that is on schedule and under budget, and a building with fully operational and optimised systems on day one.
Regarding manufacturing facilities, these will be commissioned before or after the building, often, due to commercial pressures the manufacturing process will need to be running before the final building inspections. Some smaller items in the building may need finishing off.
The manufacturing or production line should take priority, usually I would suggest setting a reasonable time and date for the start-up and keep to it whatever happens. This may cause long working hours on the final start-up day, but the feeling of accomplishment amongst the site workers and new recruits for the company, pays back in terms of moral and gives the company a good start in life.
