Project commissioning ensures a project is safe and performs as expected before delivery. It involves planning, assessing progress, resolving issues, and verifying systems. It’s useful for new and existing projects and provides ongoing feedback.
Project commissioning is a series of processes to ensure that a project performs safely and as expected prior to the time of delivery to the final recipient. This can involve several people on the project development team and requires completing a myriad of steps. Commissioning can start in the early stages of the project, with the planning phase, where the team discusses the project goal and establishes a schedule, schedule and budget for achieving the goal.
In the planning phase, project commissioning may involve creating a rubric to assess progress at various stages and keep the project on track. If the client is a university building a new science lab, for example, the first step would be to describe what types of facilities the university needs, and commissioning the project might include researching building codes and soliciting employee feedback. from the university to find out what types of facilities are needed and develop a plan to build them.
As the project rolls off schedule and the development team starts working on it, project commissioning continues. Staff will periodically assess the project to see that the needs and objectives remain the same and to confirm that the development is meeting the objective. As issues arise, they must be resolved, and this can include having to meet new project requests or failing to properly accommodate a goal during the planning stages.
Once the project is completed, project commissioning moves into the final phase with a rigorous verification and investigation of all project systems to verify that they function correctly. Ideally, as systems are rolled out, developers test them, but need to double-check at the end. In something like a building, this includes tasks like flipping all the light switches, summoning the elevators, and adjusting thermostats to test heating and cooling systems. It can also involve pushing systems to their limits to see how they respond, such as loading an elevator to its stated maximum capacity and then measuring its performance.
This approach to quality control isn’t just useful for new projects. Project commissioning is also valuable for rehabilitation and renovation of existing projects. The same series of steps provide ongoing feedback on how the project is progressing. In the planning stages, team members can discuss what they want to do, how they plan to accomplish it, and methods they can use to measure success. During project development, they continuously re-evaluate and end up with a full audit of the project before handing it over to the recipient.
