Why Commission?
So, Why Commission? We always have Commissioned
It has been after the building was occupied It has taken years to complete The design is often never fully implemented It has been very expensive
We propose a better way Commission before the building is occupied Complete during design and construction, not
after Build what is drawn Only pay once
