Building commissioning refers to confirming that new construction aligns with the building owner’s, building’s architect’s, and engineer’s wishes. Since Mahogany, Inc. specializes in building commissioning, we ensure that electrical, mechanical, plumbing, controls, and the building’s safety are as they should be. We have worked at the Sagamore Recreation Pier Hotel, Intercounty Connector Bethesda, and Prince George’s Medical Center. One of the most significant ways to avoid setting your building up for failure is by commissioning a building.
Boost Work Productivity
Mahogany, Inc. understands that construction projects contain coordination. Many people collaborate to ensure your building has an efficient design. Even though construction, design, and operation inherently have different functions, commissioning may connect them. However, building commissioning should not be an afterthought if you want a smooth project process. It should be an initial thought. For example, you don’t want to discover during construction that your building is not eco-friendly if that is your primary goal. Ultimately, making sudden design changes may be expensive and overwhelming.
Minimize Your Energy and Operational Costs
It can be costly when your building consumes excessive energy. It’s the highest operating expense for building owners. So, any wise building owner will seek energy efficiency opportunities wherever possible. Additionally, commissioning a building is affordable and may ensure that you have an energy-efficient building. Plus, analyzing your property is one of the ideal ways to save money.
Fewer Shortcomings
During the commissioning process, consistent tests occur at intervals or mid-process. Fortunately, there may be fewer shortcomings once the construction is complete. So, it’s always ideal to test systems mid-process rather than repairing problems later that your team can avoid. Also, equipment replacements and building reparations are expensive and disruptive. When you are building commissioning, their frequency reduces substantially.
Paperwork is Necessary
Building commissioning requires documentation because it demonstrates a clear summary of operating conditions. In the end, this will benefit the operations staff and building owner. Also, performance test records prove the building’s functionality may help in the future. Documentation is also essential if there are any debates over a warranty between the equipment manufacturers and the building’s owner. Overall, proper documentation will minimize disputes between all parties in the construction and design process.
Moreover, the commissioning documentation includes manuals, training sessions, and, more importantly, paperwork. So, you can simplify troubleshooting by effectively programming maintenance and closely monitoring problem areas.
