Enhanced project delivery to meet your objectives

Providing unmatched performance with building commissioning

Discover the measurable benefits of building commissioning for your project.

The building commissioning process (CxP) ensures we meet your expectations throughout your project.

McCownGordon highly recommends involving building commissioning in your project for its wide array of benefits and short payback timelines. CxP validates and documents that systems are in working condition together to meet owner expectations.

BUILDING ASSESSMENTS

Whether you are renovating your current building, building new, or evaluating several buildings, you need a safe and functional space to provide the best services to your building occupants.

Our team of experts provides you with a holistic view of your building’s condition to determine the best process for construction. Through a Building Assessment, our team investigates the building condition and systems to evaluate risk and overall building performance. With a high level of attention to quality, we evaluate the building and site early during preconstruction in order to reduce the environmental impact of practices and materials and focus on life cycle assessments (LCA). We use programs like Sefaira and our in-house LCA tool to quickly evaluate energy usage versus utility, maintenance, and replacement costs to provide our clients the most sustainable option.

1. Going beyond construction management

Building commissioning can begin as early as the concept/pre-design phase of the project and continues throughout occupancy and operations of the finished building. CxP forms a crucial bridge between the owner and every other team on the project.

2. Improve quality and ROI

CxP provides an average of 13–16% annual energy savings, 8–20% lower equipment maintenance costs, better equipment performance, and better indoor air quality (IAQ), the average ROI for CxP range from 1.1 to 4.2 years—a solid return on your investment.

3. Meeting project owner specifications to the letter

When the installing contractor of equipment performs an initial startup to make sure the equipment turns on, they fill out a startup checklist and mark the unit installation as complete. Involving building commissioning in your project takes this process further—we ensure equipment works exactly as the owner intends.
